As I understand it, post-modern thinking is that there is no truth, no belief system better than another (or none), no real morality. Authority is in the hands of the individual.
I believe that the ultimate authority is God, there is a definite truth, and that traditional Western civilization is better than any other. This most definitely is NOT post-modern thinking.
However, I am happy to use whatever tools are available to promote my point of view.
Except to postmodernists themselves, there's nothing inherently "post-modern" about the Internet. Forget the fact that hyperlinks distract us, and no one seems to have the final authority on the facts. The story of Babylon suggests that we are forever doomed to argue, often in different languages about everything. That doesn't mean absolute truth doesn't exist, or that one way isn't the best way of doing something.
In other words, just because it has billions of textual web pages (text is a favorite word to postmodernists), and features as many opinions or more, does not mean that it necessarily leads in a direction of relativism in and of itself.
And cultural relativism and postmodernist thinking are indeed linked. In classrooms across the western world, there are swamis profuring the notion that notions of right and wrong emerge strictly from our external culture.
I did a quick search and found a Postmodern FAQ. There is discussion of "narrative," "modernity," and sundry other central ideas. The alt.postmodern FAQ looks even better, but it's more wordy. Get used to "wordy" around post-structuralists and post-modernists. Yes, modernism was structural. In other words it was all about power. Following rules is tedious, right?
In any case, I want to encourage a counter-movement to postmodernism. Just because the truth is sometimes hard to know, does not mean that it doesn't exist. Just because multiple cultures do things differently does not mean that one isn't better than the other.
Words like freedom, love, life, and property must mean something concrete. Chains and slavery await those who dispute their meaning. Isn't it time to purge our state universities of Marxist and post-structuralist malarkey by attrition? We're just confusing our children. It's costing us more and more money just to bewilder them. (I'm not saying that post-structuralism should be banned -- I'm saying that it shouldn't be taught like a de facto religion.)
"I think that we are usiing the post-modern tools but not subscribing to the philosphy."
Exactly! As usual the writer looked for a nice shoebox to label and put us into. So he chose post-modern.
You final part of your reply is a better summation of what is going on:
"I believe that the ultimate authority is God, there is a definite truth, and that traditional Western civilization is better than any other. This most definitely is NOT post-modern thinking.
"However, I am happy to use whatever tools are available to promote my point of view."
