Electronic Right Speech

In electronic communication, there are two additional factors to keep in mind, besides the ones we're familiar with from older media:

  • It's well recognized that somehow electronic communication invites "flaming"; it's easier on a list to speak extremely.
  • Fewer people are aware that the reverse is true too: we perceive messages as having more emotional content in this medium; they have a much heavier effect here than they do in either in print or in person. Pithily expressed thoughts, for example, can easily come off as offensive.

It's easy to understand that e-communication lacks signals we give in person; emoticons [like :-) ] are an attempt to add some of them back. But why language we would relish in a book is offensive in email, is a puzzle.

  • Perhaps it has to do with the difference Marshall McLuhan observed between books, film and TV : the greater amount of information in TV transmission, although subliminal, allows more passive watching, while film with its fewer frames per second engages us more — and books require even more participation.
  • Does email engage us even more, to the point where we project our attachments/aversions onto the message?

In any case, it's important to use temperate language in email, and to avoid brusqueness. Even jokes often don't communicate well without the presence of the teller. Think about how your words are likely to be received.

Finally, as you read email messages, remember that this is an information-limited medium. The emotions you are reading may be your projections.

There's much more that could be said about "netiquette." For example, see

Respecting Copyright on the UUBF-L

Legally you need to document where a text came from. If it's on a publicly accessible website, give the URL, title of the page, and date you accessed it. If it's on another list, give the name of the list, who sponsors it, location of a website which enables one to join it, date and title of the message.

If it's in print, give the name of the publication, the publisher, the date of publication, and page numbers.

However, even after you've done all that, if you do not have permission it is still illegal to quote the whole article (or large parts of it), and the UUA as well as you can be sued for plagiarism. You must excerpt small parts. If you comment on the author's words when you quote them, you are allowed more length. (Unfortunately there are few hard rules, it's a matter of the court's discretion if the publisher takes issue with you.)

So the best policy is to report on a piece, quoting small parts, and mentioning what ideas in the rest of it you think are important — but talking about them from your point of view, not simply repeating the author's.

It's frustrating to have a really good piece of information, and a place you want to share it where people can benefit from it, and not be allowed to simply make it available. A lot of people are doing it on the Web. But it's creating a lot of suffering for authors, who don't get very well paid for their work to begin with. We need to act more responsibly.
