communication have shown that electronic links have a de-inhibiting

effect on people. Deprived of the body-language cues through which

emotional state is expressed, people tend to forget everything about

other parties except what is presented over that ASCII link. This has

both good and bad effects. A good one is that it encourages honesty

and tends to break down hierarchical authority relationships; a bad

one is that it may encourage depersonalization and gratuitous

rudeness. Perhaps in response to this, experienced netters often

display a sort of conscious formal politesse in their writing that has

passed out of fashion in other spoken and written media (for example,

the phrase "Well said, sir!" is not uncommon).

Many introverted hackers who are next to inarticulate in person

communicate with considerable fluency over the net, perhaps precisely

because they can forget on an unconscious level that they are dealing

with people and thus don't feel stressed and anxious as they would

face to face.

Though it is considered gauche to publicly criticize posters for poor

spelling or grammar, the network places a premium on literacy and

clarity of expression. It may well be that future historians of

literature will see in it a revival of the great tradition of personal

letters as art.
