I have two theories concerning online courses and online interaction in general. The first is the theory that says you tend to say things in an online environment you would not in a class. Do any of you think this has truth to it. There are advantages to this but coincidentally you can also develope some negative emotions with people becasue you don't really respond to their emotions. In effect you can "pull their chain", "rub them the wrong way" or "put a fly in their cheerios" in a virtual way. That is the second theory. If this happens it is harder to get back in rythm with another emotionally. In real life getting back on the same wavelenth is done quite naturally. - Greg Aldred
