Tonight!

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

One other point I'd like to make while this subject is out on the table (which is good thing, IMO)....

Tone means everything.


There is a commercial shown during Big XII football games paid for by the conference that shows people in everyday life acting like rude fans. One scene has the drive-through attendant yelling at the woman ordering: "Our fries don't curl!!!!" Their message is you don't do it in everyday life, so why act that way at a game?


And I think that sort of thing happens too often on the Internet, especially on message boards. I'm sure almost no one here is rude to others on a regular basis.

I always think of this when someone corrects someone on the subject of spelling or something similarly trivial. I always try and picture this same person correcting the grammar of someone they just met! Of course, that never happens yet it's too common in this type of setting.

It's too easy to fall into that mode when sitting at your keyboard in the relative anonymity of cyberspace.

But this site is first and foremost a community of people that want the best for OKC and the whole state. Please try to be as courteous to each other as you are to the others in your life.

I don't know...I'm really nice, quiet, and easy going in public until I see a bully going after somebody they think will be an easy target and I'll step in and be rude, crude, and about as embarrassing as possible to the person. I'll make them wish they'd never left the house. Probably because I got picked on as a kid or something.

That doesn't translate well to online media, nor does it always comply with the ToS, so I've kind of got to watch it.
