The story project

Funny, I am reading through the forums and I constantly come across interesting posts. We have a story project that we are writing as a group. I figured, let them experience digital culture in its full potential, with all its glory and frustrations. Let them bless it and curse at it at the same time. So I guess somebody deleted another student's chunk of the story. Boy was s/he ever upset. Nevermind the fact that I can compare versions and see what changes have been made as an administrator, the post was too funny.

It read "Ok, whats the point of having a story where everybody contributes when people are just going to erase what you wrote anyways? Just cause you may not like it doesn't mean you can erase it! Thanks to the jerk who did that to me. I hope your grade drops!!"

Wrar, cat fight!!! The "jerk" would have been considered a "griefer" in Second Life and he would have been temporarily banned from the game. This student decided to play the story game a little bit differently than others. He just had a bit of a sense of humor, is all. Of course, in real life, where users from all over the world are collaborating in a project like this, an incident like this happens all the time. And you get really frustrated, and you get deleted, and you re-add your stuff again, and then get deleted again, and so on and so forth. I think this was a telling experience for both students. All I can say, it was interesting to see it play out.
