Inappropriate use of Digital Media

Valerie Flanagan
An addition in digital etiquette that I do wish were adhered to, is as I'd seen another user post on, is the "cc" of email. Of course, while we know at any time, it is one's option or prerogative to do so, it is sad at certain times when it feels a dismissal of respect to the initial exchange, if not communicated/ requested to do so in advance. I have had administrators do this at times, that seemed questionable and unnecessary to me, in answering simple inquiries and such, whereas, bringing in an external audience, who may or may not have any background into the topic discussed, may feel they need to take on an issue that may appear to hold more weight than needed, and actually bring the (now) 'group-' farther away from simple understanding or exchange.
