Dangers of allowing advanced technology in immature worlds

[Monica]

What do you make of the sarcastic comment "thank you for your participation"? How should that be understood?

No sarcasm was intended with that comment. That is a standard statement used by unity100 and others, when they feel the dialog has reached an impasse, and they wish to courteously bow out of the discussion.

This is what I think happened. I saw blue. I asked blue why it was blue. It responded with more blue. That's all. I'm trying to embrace the blue. Blue won't receive me. What does that tell you that blue is?

I have no idea. How do you know it's blue? Maybe it's red or purple.

No sarcasm intended here either. My point is that our perceptions of what other-selves intend, aren't necessarily accurate.

At this point I would like to invite everyone to review the B4 thread about interpersonal relationships, which delves into understanding why miscommunications and misunderstandings occur, especially in an online community when we don't have the benefit of facial expressions, body language, tone of voice, etc., but must rely only on text, which is very limited and easily misconstrued.
