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.

Pictures by me:

blooming in the desert


A rare freshwater stream about 65 miles east of San Diego

A couple of blocks from my house


A rare flower blooming -- I've seen this in only one place
in my ~15 years of hiking in the mountains east of San Diego 
It is rare and thus precious to me, even if it is common elsewhere


That hawk used to be there almost every time we hiked the mountain
then the tree fell and now that sight is gone forever


That was what was left of a tree after the 2003 Cedar Fire in San Diego county
It is still there today in 2020 - we it saw again last week





Capybara (really big rodents) and offspring units at the San Diego zoo

One morning over the bit of bay behind our house
(2016)
