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.

Personal note

Responses to the last few posts here have pushed me back into rethinking my own beliefs about politics and the human condition.

I need some time to step back and rethink. I need to take a few days off to reconsider my defense of, e.g., democracy, facts and "sound reasoning". I think I seriously misjudged the human condition, myself, or both. Probably both.
