Increasing every day is the number of Blogs and Forums on the Internet and there is no end in site to this hyperbolic pace. With India and China coming on line with some 2.4 Billion combined potential Internet Users in the future it should be obvious that these formats will become a mainstay in human electronic communication and continually evolve as new systems, innovations and spin-off systems for social networks hit the scene.

Of course in all this there will still be the human element and common sense truths about humans and their somewhat predictable behavior. For instance a human disrespected wants revenge and will indeed seek it. In a battle of words they will cause a reciprocal response on those who offend them online. This is a known quantity. But in this case study lets consider ways in which rival online Blog participants might diffuse situations.

It has been recorded and is often repeated in online forums or blogs that a single participant can bring the group into a state of social courtesy. How so you ask? Well, by merely agreeing to disagree and

putting forth compliments to one or more offenders or attackers of personal character in these online venues. Potential compliments go something like this;

1.) As always you bring up a very interesting issue, topic, consideration, perspective or point of view.

What should be noted is humans often like to give their opinions online and each time they do you have the opportunity of gleaming perhaps a little more insight into their rational and the subject matter as a whole. Compliments should be sincere and try not to go over board, yet often it has been said that you can kill them with kindness.

So when someone in manipulating a Blog or Forum discussion into personal attacks or robust combativeness, perhaps you will remember these thoughts and ponder these tips. I hope this propels thought and is of interest in 2007.
