Neither of these may apply, but maybe they do: tone, facial expression, and gestures are missing in text communication. This makes for more misunderstandings. And, imo, more misunderstandings are likely when folks are on edge already -- and if it's fandom ppl, well, most of fandom is on edge lately.

I was going to say that the person involved in the non-dreamwidth-based debate isn't in fandom, and then I remembered that this individual is TOUCHY AS ALL HELL at the best of times, so: good point.

Online talking is hard. I only *can* "talk" with ppl this way, and I can't always get what I mean across well since I ahve so much trouble with words adn am so literal so much, and it frustrates me no end sometimes that I can't get what is in my head to the other person so they know what I mean, you know?
