remember when communicating through text online, you no longer have other clues like visual hints, tone of voice, body language, etc... and neither does the other person get those clues from you (emoticons don't cut it).

In other ways it is easier to communicate via text online as you have time to craft and edit a good response.

Bottom line, it is more difficult to communicate via text online than face to face. Be aware of what you are posting and a lot of frustration can be avoided.
