2-24. COMMUNICATION ETIQUETTE: ONLINE ETIQUETTE; MEDIA SKILLS: WRITING BLOG POSTS [LO6] Between the immediate nature of digital communication and the ability for people to disguise their identity by using screen names, online discussions sometimes get nasty. Posting rude comments or vicious product reviews might help a person release some pent-up anger but such messages rarely help the situation. The people on the receiving end of these messages are likely to get defensive or ignore the comments entirely, rather than focusing on finding a solution. Find an online review of a product, service, or company that strikes you as rude to the point of being nasty. For your class blog (or other media as assigned by your instructor), write a summary of the situation, explain why the rude comment is ineffective, and write a new version that is more effective (as in, more likely to bring about the change the writer wanted).
