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.

Blog note: Falling behind in responding to comments
My in-box has over 300 comments I have not reviewed. I don't respond to all comments, but I usually have time to at least read most of them. More than a few are complex and require a lot of time to read and think about. It will take me another day or two to catch up. I'll post again after I've worked my way through. 🙂
