The Person Behind The Screen

Hello! This is SilverDawn, to post on The Person Behind The Screen. 

You may be wondering what I mean by that. Fair point. :)

You can't see the person behind the screen. You can't see whoever you're interacting with on the computer. No, this post isn't about stalkers, it's about kindness. 

Imagining two people were on Animal Jam (using AJ as an example) and one of them was typing slowly. It would be mean for the other one to accuse the slower of being a slow typist, because they can't see the person behind the screen. 

This person may have been much younger than you thought. Or they may have finger problems, or slow-registering problems. You don't know. So you can't judge them for typing slowly. 

Also, you have to watch what you say on the computer. Other people can't hear your tone, so you have to speak (well, type actually :b) mindfully. 

There are more examples, but I'll leave this at this. For now, anyway. :)
