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.

The Queen died

I'm no big fan of the British monarchy. But by God, from what I could tell the Queen was dignified, civilized, decent and reasonably coherent. These days, that's freaking rare among elected politicians. It's non-existent among dictators and authoritarians like T****, his good friend Putin, China's Xi Syria's Bashir Assad and other odious, murdering toads and corrupt, lying crackpots in power today. 

Is that sentiment uninformed, wrong and/or misplaced?
