Repliers are often indignant that their reply isn’t welcomed, reasoning that the original post was public.

Posting is like talking in a pub. We all understand the social contract in this kind of space: you don’t lean over and reply to the next table conversation just because you heard it.

Online you can’t see the tables and sometimes posts are looking widely for interaction. But you can think before hopping in. If in your decision to contribute you misjudged, you can just stop.

Online we’re all stewards of each other’s time and energy. Being careful with these finite resources is looking after the worlds around each person.
