I don't think one can act with integrity without playing nicely. For instance, we can't maintain our integrity as bloggers if we're using other people's content without attribution... something I'm working to improve in my own blogging, particularly when it comes to photos.Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08639732368395025578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-80913770098759434972012-05-29T02:11:04.013-04:002012-05-29T02:11:04.013-04:00I agree with the other commenters here -- playing ...I agree with the other commenters here -- playing nicely is very different from "being nice".

Blogging is a solitary activity in the writing, but a group activity in the reading, connecting, and sharing information. "</i><br /><br />Yes, yes, yes! I have been involved in blogging for a long time (though I'm a newbie in the book world, I've blogged about crafting, sports and managed several business blogs as well teaching blogging at a local college), and I cannot say enough about what an opportunity being open to connections via blogging has been for me personally. I've been hired for freelance work, met several extremely close friends, found conference buddies and loads more. <br /><br />Thanks for the fabulous post!Sarahhttp://cleareyesfullshelves.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-27584815651608789662012-05-28T14:13:14.620-04:002012-05-28T14:13:14.620-04:00I love this post and I love the idea of this blog ...I love this post and I love the idea of this blog tour! :)Beth S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06944635942712994937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-88771035682901313632012-05-28T12:24:14.351-04:002012-05-28T12:24:14.351-04:00Thanks for this post on how to be collegial and th...Thanks for this post on how to be collegial and thoughtful. It extends beyond the blogging world to better marketing and social networking in general. Needy, greedy, grabby, cliquey become very obvious to me in the intuitive and visual realms of cyberspace. It's all about the approach. I'll continue to check out this interesting topic, I also read Chasing Ray's posting.

Be nice is (like "haters going to hate") a method to shut down discussion and disagreement. "Playing nicely" (as you've nicely outlined!) is saying to treat one another with respect. We can have disagreements -- different positions -- without it going personal, without insulting the person rather than dissenting with the post/argument/position.Liz Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16671844475303001610noreply@blogger.com
