Les dérives du courrier électronique: des mal élevés qui profitent de la distance ou d'un certain anonymat pour dire des choses pas très gentilles, ou adopter des attitudes franchement puériles, avec, hélas, des conséquences qui ne sont pas toujours celles d'un monde d'enfant… Par exemple, une personne a un jour profité de ce que je lui avait fait copie d'un message, pensant que le sujet l'intéresserait, pour intervenir entre mon interlocuteur et moi, et me discréditer.
