Accepting criticism, and giving it!

In my past blogs I have talked about multiple things on the web where you can communicate digitally and others can as well. I mentioned all this but failed to talk about probably one of the biggest things when it comes to being a writer on the Internet, netiquette! Netiquette is what it sounds like, Network Etiquette. Netiquette is important because when you are a writer people are going to have their opinions on you work. How you can handle it is where netiquette come into play. With it the Internet can be a positive and better place. Its all about being polite to others and respecting their opinions. Also it is respecting others Wikis and other blogs. Avoiding multi posting, cross-posting, off-topic posting, hijacking a discussion thread, and other techniques are forms of netiquette. Somewhere along the line someone will have a negative remark or will call you out on a mistake you made that might upset you but the best thing to do about it is to not take it out on the Internet. All you need to say is thank you for catching that, or oops didn't see that thank you. If someone disagrees on what you wrote about and states that don't fight with them, simply say thank you for your opinion. Now when on the other side, the critic, be sure to be as polite as humanly possible. Its not against the law to state your opinion as long as you are courteous of others. Keep all this in mind, and just have fun!!
