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.

Linesperson?

 Are you friggin' kidding me?

So, I was watching a junior hockey game the other night and they were presenting an award to the Linesmen - of which there were two, BOTH MEN, but announce them as Linespersons. 

LINESPERSONS!! When the only two linespersons on the ice were MEN.

Now there is another junior hockey tournament going on between young ladies, and the commentators are always referring to them as "young ladies" and "girls" and on occasion "women". WHY NOT PERSONS?

This is SO politically incorrect to call them by female names when they SHOULD BE called Persons, amirite??

Bad enough postmen are now postal workers and firemen are now fire fighters.


Instead of this… Consider this…
