Exactly, they don't even have moderators to make sure the things they say are wholesome. Why, they may even swear!

akeyboardists don't have special characters, either. So when they swear, they SWEAR!

 

[Vene]

Do they at least have a [wash my mouth] feature?

Akeyboardists are immoral.

I don't think they are immoral, just not your type.

Perhaps not immoral, but certainly amoral. Without the sacred netiquette to guide them, whatever they come up with pretty much has to be relativist claptrap.

This one could use some guidance.​

But the Real Life Myth gets everywhere. Even your netiquette site is infected by the meme

Rule 2: Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life

 

[Vene]

No, you're reading that too literally, 'in real life' must refer to the internet. There is just no other explanation.

 

[ravenscape]

"On the Internet as it is in Real Life"

Perhaps Real Life refers to an ideal existance to which we should strive. Perhaps it is where we go when when we log off for the final time. Perhaps it is only a metaphor.

In time, all will be revealed.

 

[Assyrian]

You think we will be uploaded?

 

[ravenscape]

Were we downloaded? Where were we before we were on the internets?

 

[Vene]

There was no time before the internet. That is a lie propagated by the akeyboardists.

 

[ravenscape]

I thought the akeyboardists' Great Lie is that there is time outside the internet. Which is it? Outside or before?

I'm so confused. Prepositional phrases are a tool by which akeyboardists sow confusion.

 

[Vene]

Everything akeyboardists say is a lie, they are so immoral they can't help themselves.

 

[ravenscape]

I'm not sure if it's immorality or delusion.

 

[Vene]

They are purposely deluding themselves, that is an immoral act. Besides, they have no moderators, how can you be moral without somebody looking over everything you say?

 

[ravenscape]

Granted, it looks purposeful to you and me, because we can't imagine denying the manifest truth that the internets comprise the known, the unknown, the forgotten and the unknowable.

But, what if we didn't know that? What if we had no Nettiquete to guide us and instruct our Moderators?

I think there's at least a remote possibility that some akeyboardists are unwittingly deluded. They could be persuaded to see the Truth.

 

[Vene]

We may be able to persuade them to embrace the way of the keyboard/internet. If we're rejected, those individuals are deluded fools and not worthy of our loving ways.

 

[Assyrian]

But how do we communicate with them? I type but they don't hear.

 

[ravenscape]

We assume they don't hear because they don't reply. It may be that they simply don't understand the message or cannot read it. Perhaps we need to use larger fonts.
