First, Rule 1: Remember the human. “When you communicate through cyberspace – via email or discussion groups – your words are written. And chances are they’re stored somewhere where you have no control over them. In other words, there’s a good chance they can come back to haunt you.” That taught me to be careful when I write anything in cyberspace because the recipients of my message can save or forward it to another people. I do not have control over where it goes. Our words can kill us anytime if we are not careful.
Second, Rule 4: Respect other people’s time and bandwidth. We are not the
center of cyberspace. Do not expect instant responses if you ask some questions
to people, although you need them. Do not assume that all readers will agree or
care about your arguments. Just wait or ask other people about your questions.
Last, Rule 10: Be forgiving of other people’s mistakes. People will make
some mistakes in cyberspace. Maybe it’s a spelling error, a stupid question, or
an unnecessarily long answer. It’s normal because everyone was a network newbie
once. Respect it kindly. If it’s a minor error, you may no need to say
anything. But, if you decided to inform someone of a mistake, point it out
politely by private email. Do not do that in public and do not be arrogant or
self-righteous about it.
That’s all I think. Netiquette is
very useful for me. I hope, you can learn anything from here. Thank you for

your comment can develop my writing skill. See you!
