Yes I shall send postcards when I find it but they might be just plain ones nothing fancy or maybe with the big anarchy symbol in black and red.

This would work if we could trust one another not to say or do thing intentionally to hurt. Unfortunately, we all know that people will do and say things that hurt--sometimes intentionally. There are things that I think do NEED to be silenced. Things that SuperFemme mentioned like racism and that ilk. I do not believe we have the right to say anything we want in public. That is not, to me, what freedom of speech is meant for. Plus, that is a fairly American (I think) concept so it may not play well in all cultures. I also am very much a change from within rather than a change from without which is what I view anarchy as. A very simplistic view to be sure! |

I am just the type who says what and to whom I want to in public, that's how I was brought up. I am also very blunt, honest and rude about things when pissed off. |

When I am angry, I do my best to not post or to phrase it so that it is very clear that I am angry and venting. If I am hurt, I tend to lash out at anything and anyone that moves. When I had to put my beloved dog down a month ago today, I went no mail on several email lists and locked myself down on how and what to post. I do not want to be that person anymore. That is part of the bitter, gossiping woman I have made a pledge to not be. So, when I can't seek joy and I know I'm angry or hurt, I will remove myself as much as possible from the "easy" targets some forums (online lists and chats for the most part) make. That way I can't show my rear so much. It's not easy. I've shown that part of my anatomy A LOT. Many people still expect it. That is not within my hula-hoop. All I can do is move forward and keep within my personal boundaries as best I can. So, there are times when I silence myself intentionally. |

Cyclopea made a BEAUTIFUL post about academic language in another thread that I would like to see be part of that conversation. My opinion: Academic language can feel silencing. Yes. |

As a footnote (and shameless plug): I started a whole thread spoofing overwrought highfalutin "academese"- "Chair Dance: Expressionism, Post Modernism, and Popular Culture". So if anyone wants to spew a bunch of non-sensical smart-sounding bullshit about a stupid topic, come on over! http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/foru...read.php?t=391 And bring your multi-quote button! Cite your sources! Consult your thesaurus!

"How good are you at guessing the tone of voice of the emails you receive? Can you tell when someone is being sarcastic, serious or is joking? Most of us think we can do this about 90% of the time. However, according to psychologists Dr. Nicholas Epley (University of Chicago) and Dr. Justin Kruger (New York University), who published their research in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (membership required to access), we get it wrong 50% of the time. Those are the same odds as tossing a coin." http://email-overloaded.com/2006/07/...tone-of-voice/ |

Sometimes I can't. Some people express themselves better than others, and what is rude or sarcastinc in NYC (for example) is way different than in Nashville. Something may sound abrupt to me, and it be the sweetest post ever to a person in Detroit (for example) I try to go with face value, but as you know sometimes come up with the wrong conclusion. Working on it though I see so many reading comprehension misunderstandings. Not from you APretty, but in general.

I struggle with this. I cannot figure out who is joking or who is threatening or who is asking a question. I find it confusing.
