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.

An argument for Ukraine-Russia-US negotiations

At 18:34 to 26:20 of this video, Jeffrey Sachs discusses the possibility of peace negotiations and what went wrong earlier this year. His analysis is clear and worth at least being aware of, even if it is not persuasive. If Sachs is right in his facts and reasoning, this make me quite uncomfortable with what the US and done and failed to do.
