My general perception of the matter, not having read all the way through it yet, is that way too many people who get onto the internet have NO NOTION that their internet behavior reflects on them as people no less than their in-person behavior.
Another way too many people, who may or may not overlap, have NO NOTION that their every verbal utterance reflects on them as crafters of language, whether it be in bound volume, flimsy zine, or internet posting.
If I don't have a personal relationship with So-and-so, what they say on the internet may persuade me not to even try.
