I took the Netiquette quiz (Gil, 2005) a few weeks ago and got 7 out of 10 correct. I decided to take the quiz again today and see if I had become more of a "Netiquette bonehead" (Gil, 2005) .
Today I scored 9 out of 10 correct (so yes I am more of a bonehead...a Netiquette one, not just in general)! The question that I got incorrect was what is a 'flame'?? Which I have now learnt is a personal attack or insulting message (I thought it was a hot topic?!?).
A 'flame' is something that I think goes against the whole netiquette philosophy: "remember the human" (Gil, 2005) . If you were remembering the human, you would not personally attack or leave insulting messages, instead you would treat them in a friendly and courteously manner as you would in an everyday face to face situation.
