Email Etiquette, Is This You

Email  Etiquette

What a gift email is!
No stamps, no envelopes
And no licking an icky stamp.
So, in seconds, a letter is sent!

In the old days, you’d throw stuff out,
Now we have  “Trash” but.....alas!
But some read your email,
With family pictures, and you?
Cannot type, thank  them?
You just ignore them...
Wow! 
The great god, the Internet....
Created rude sons and daughters.

I have seen this at the Soup!
And all over the place!
So addicted to commenting, yes!
To them, you are  trash, I guess?
The great God,, the internet?

Ignoring others is a big clue.
Do not send email to those
Who eschew you.
We maybe on the internet!
But motherboards,we are not.
Something ‘rudeheads’ forgot.
Erase them from your list forever.
Hurting others is mean,not clever!

Darlene, they walk among us. There are true angels here. Lovers of all poets! And evil people who attack others Poetry. Solution...go away! Type nothing evil. Why? God sees you destroying another. Darlene..read a Midsummers Night Poetess's scheme. It's on poetic etiquette. You are a master of positive support,you know that?? You could teach rude people here, how to be loving! Congratulations on all the good work you do. Panagiota

Oh how true this is. The advent of social media has overtaken the use of emails. We have lost the art of being in communication with others.

And Elena, it spreads riot locations and hate in a grand manner. Shows rioting, burning of bldgs.. ?Good people are barred from social media as they are not Socialists/Marxists? Criminals film their Boyz harming Jews or the elderly. Even in homes, people do not talk! I wish you could go back in time and experience one day in my younger life. You would not want to return to the present. Panagiota 8/12

So many wrapped up in their lives they have no time for anything else. One thing I learnt as a kid was speak when you're spoken too, its just good manners. Tom

I loathed hearing that as a girl. But, it was law in our house. You can teach manners without repressing your kids. Maria was raised to be "appropriate"..yet tons of room for self expression and she was and it respected and loved. And she caught holy h_ll on the spot if she crossed the line. Only once! But I am a swift and Hard taskmaster. I do not know what others are up to. You know I stay indoors. Cannot bear seeing MASKORAMA replacing AMERICA. Pangie Kids today are rowdy and undiscilined. Some Schools are getting diplomas from 8th grade and they cannot read or write. Panagiota 8/12
