Online Speech Deserves More Respect

In “Speech vs Online Interaction”,  I take issue with the suggestion in Chapter 7 of Habits of the High-Tech Heart that online is not as dialogical,  not as personal,  and not as “communal”.  This seems to be the theme of Schultze’s discussion of Virtual Community.  Schultze often takes up the phrase “Real Community” and usually in comparison to “Virtual Community”,  which is one of my biggest peeves.
