Personally, I feel that after sharing my views and thoughts regarding the topic that was put up on facebook, I feel more braver because I get to share my thoughts online with people who I barely know, and get feedback from them. I feel that I can express myself freely as it is a platform where I can just say what I feel about the topic. Obviously, there has to be limitations. There must be a line drawn between me and the topic, and a second line needs to be drawn between me and the other people in that discussion forum.
I feel that this is important as to prevent arguments from occurring until it is uncontrollable. A discussion forum is a platform to share views, not to harass or hit on others and argue blindly. It is all about facts,
but still, Mutual Respect must exist in s discussion forum in order for it to succeed.=)
Compared to traditional face-to-face discussion, I feel that I say a lot more in a discussion forum, than when I'm on a one-on-one conversation. This is because I have the chance to pause and think thoroughly as to what I want to say, and I can update others more if I ever left out some things.
I find this activity very meaningful because it has given me the helping step of entering a world that I do not engage in before. After this tutorial, it is definitely an eye opener for me and I would definitely consider online forum discussion for my future purposes=)
