Question: How would you feel if someone said something mean to you on the telephone, in an email, or in an online discussion? Is there a difference between the telephone and the computer?

If someone was to disrespectfully say something mean to me over the telephone or in email, I would feel hurt and embarrassed depending who the person may be. Yes, when someone makes rude remarks over the telephone towards you it's personal but when these things are said in email the conversation can be sent to any and everyone on the internet.
