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.

Public Service Announcement for residents of the United States


If you are like me, you recently received a postcard notice in the mail regarding your 2020 Census information.  On it, you will find your 12-charater Census ID designation along with the following message:


Dear Resident:

To protect the health of the public during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Census Bureau interviewers have had limited direct contact with the public until now.

Interviewers will begin visiting homes that have not responded in August.  Respond today, and we will not need to send an interviewer to your door to collect our answers.

If you have already completed your 2020 Census questionnaire, thank you.

Sincerely,

Steven D. Dillingham

Director


The U.S. Government depends on this information to distribute funds, determine congressional representation, and many other factors that will be in play for the next 10 years.  Don’t miss out on your entitled equal representation and funding.  If you did not receive such a post card, you still can participate by asking for an ID number on the initial screen.


Here is the link to begin your participation:
