Two Meanings, from Wiktionary:
metacommunication (plural metacommunications)
Since we don't have much of the second meaning we can do with an internet forum, where communication is the sterile written word, I'm happy to discuss the first, how we write, and what we actually convey by the things we've written.
For instance . . .
Is there a difference in saying:
I disagree with you.
. . . and . . .
I disagree with you, you dunderhead!
Much love!
