Netiquette

Home :: Orientation :: Internet Basics :: Netiquette

Every successful human contact is dependent on the assumption that each of us is valuable and has something to contribute to the interaction. The way we honor that personal value is through manners and respectful ways of interacting with one another.

The Internet has provided us with a medium that overwhelmingly extends our abilities to relate to one another. We can now exchange ideas, thoughts, and emotions across geographic distances. It is important to remember to be respectful in those exchanges and to remember that behind that text, picture, or graphic is a real person.
