The basic rule is easy: If you treat（欺骗）others, you would be treated in the same way. ①Imagine(想象) how you would feel if you were in the other person‘s shoes.For anything you‘re about to send, ask yourself,―Would I say that to the person‘s face?‖If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. If someone in the chat room is rude to you, you needn‘t to fire back. You should either ignore(不理睬) the person, or use your chat software to block their messages. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.②________________Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do orhow to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, be kind about it. If you decide to tell someone about the mistake, point it out politely. At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and say sorry to others.③询问别人的私人问题是不礼貌的。
