There’s no manual for behavior on the Internet. Most people behave well without it, but not all. I’m observing an incident at another site involving a review. I publish many reviews here.

If you met me in person you would find me very quiet, especially in social situations. People often have a first impression of me as standoffish and unfriendly.
