Etiquette



DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass.

Other rules: Do not attack or insult people you disagree with. Engage with facts, logic and beliefs. Out of respect for others, please provide some sources for the facts and truths you rely on if you are asked for that. If emotion is getting out of hand, get it back in hand. To limit dehumanizing people, don't call people or whole groups of people disrespectful names, e.g., stupid, dumb or liar. Insulting people is counterproductive to rational discussion. Insult makes people angry and defensive. All points of view are welcome, right, center, left and elsewhere. Just disagree, but don't be belligerent or reject inconvenient facts, truths or defensible reasoning.

Institutional disrespect for the rule of law

IVN (Independent Voter Network) has published a Dissident Politics article that describes the corrosive effects of personal ideology on the rule of law. Liberals tend to be more accepting of laws that accord with liberal ideology, while conservatives tend to be more accepting of laws that accord with conservative ideology. The situation exemplifies the subjectivity of the values or morals that the two-party system is built on. In Dissident Politics' opinion, that does not best serve the public interest or the American people. It serves the two-party system at the expense of the public interest and the rule of law.

The article is here: http://ivn.us/2015/10/08/two-party-system-disrespect-rule-law/.
