The Internet needs Ms. Manners 

I frequently encounter rudeness on the Internet. When I do, I want to say, “Didn't anyone teach you any manners?” And then I realize that the rules of engagement are all different on the Internet. In fact, we’re kind of making them up as we go along. So, I asked a few friends for advice. I have assembled an expert panel of veritable loveliness to meet our etiquette needs: Meredith Gould, Mihee Kim-Kort, Christian Piatt, Bruce Reyes-Chow, and Landon Whitsitt.

These are people who have been thinking about, writing about, and playing amongst the intricacies of web civility for a long time. I asked them, specifically, what their pet peeves are. Since the impertinence and my commentary abounds, for brevity's sake, I decided to break the post up into parts. Today, we will discuss criticism.
