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.

Simply 2023 Question


We experienced a turbulent year in 2022, and so we might feel inclined to say:


To put you all into the spirit for the new year, what exactly was SO awful about 2022? Let's see:

Russia Invades Ukraine
Robb Elementary School Shooting
Buffalo, New York Supermarket Shooting
Death of Pele
Queen of England Elizabeth II
Trucker Convoy Freedom Movement in Ottawa, Canada
6th Wave of Covid
Inflation 
The Republicans winning the House and Senate bigly. 

So, what was for YOU, yes YOU, the most egregious event of 2022? To bring some balance, what was for YOU the most hopeful event of 2022? Maybe how the Republicans swept the House and Senate?

Looking forward to 2023, are you hopeful it will be better, or pessimistic it will be worse, or about the same?

Oh Hell, I might as well say it: I am the optimist, it will be BETTER!!
