What do you do when you send an e-mail to a person who you are on very good terms with in face to face meetings but somehow thinks that when you are at your computer, you suddenly turn into this “Keyboard Monster” hell bent on eradicating all good will. It makes no sense whatsoever and it really bothers me that I can say things face to face or even on the telephone and no one gets offended but say the exact same thing in an e-mail and all of a sudden; I’ve started world war III. Why is this???

Not for the first time, it seems that advice on handling crucial conversation sceanrios is laced with an invitation to exercise both practical common sense and, in this case, common courtesy. In the electronic “need it yesterday” world these two things get overlooked so easily (I know do!). So thank you again for laying it out. Seems to me that the investment of a bit of added time up front will be well worth it compared with the time spent later in trying to recover a misunderstood communication.
