Caroline,
I ignore why you`re feeling this way today, I mean if you`re speaking in reference to sth negative that has happened to you. But I agree witrh you in the use of pm to solve issues privately. Actually I `m a regular user of this tool since it is as if we were talking face to face our things.

Hello, I agree with you, sometime ago I posted a worksheet and I didnt remenber that I downloaded from this site.... I just was trying to colaborated. And then I recieved many posts saying that I was making a terrible mistake and I will be punished if I send again another copy worksheet and other bad words... I agree, but I made a mistake because I didnt remember that I was copy from Esl. I said sorry but I felt very sad. I think that we a human and we can make mistakes... |

I totally agree with Caroline and it makes me wonder what might be taught in the classroom when it comes to social behaviour :(

CAROLINE: Firstly let me admit that I should be one of the last to grumble here.
IVONA: But why do you keep saying things like that? As if you didn �t belong here. So what if you haven �t uploaded yet. You �re planning to. It �s better to upload something than anything. No rule on the site says that you must have points in order to join the discussions and express your own opinion.
CAROLINE: All right, all right. I will say no more on that matter.
IVONA: Good.  What else did you want to point out?
CAROLINE: That we may have differing views on some
aspects here but that can be a very healthy way of getting a fresh
perspective on some matters.
IVONA: Exactly. We seem to be preaching one thing (to our students) and doing another thing(here in the forum). We teach them to respect someone else �s opinion and support their own with good arguments, not with backchat, or snappish remarks. And look at what �s going on here. We just hide our true nature behind the term �teacher �.
CAROLINE: If I do not agree about something that a
colleague may have posted I can use the PM tool to air my view in a
sensible and not sarcastic way...in private.
IVONA: Bull �s eye again! Why not send tonnes of PMs to the person who �s done wrong than crucify her/him on the message board? I think it would make more difference. This way we �re just encouraging the person to maybe get back at us and break more rules... If only we put ourselves into others � shoes more often, things would be different, don �t you think?
CAROLINE: ... zzzz ....
IVONA: Caroline, wake up! I know you �re on the other side of the world, but you must listen to me! Hey! You hear me?! (nothing) Ok ... that does it! I �m going to post on the message board about how you treated me unfairly and look for someone �s sympathies there. I �m soppy, i know. But i can �t help it. (exits)
