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.

Tomorrow starts one for the history books…

Two hundred years from now, when we are all dead and gone, and assuming that we haven’t annihilated ourselves by then, future generations will be reading about the first ever criminal trial of a one-time President of the United States.

Here in 2024, when social media runs unchecked and rampant, regular “We the People” are not allowed/forbidden to see the proceedings live, on TV.  We must get the info second-hand, from observers, or from transcripts after the fact.  Better than nothing, I guess. 😕

Here’s the question:

Should “We the People” be allowed to see the proceedings live on TV if we want to?  Hell, we even got to see O.J.'s trial, for crying out loud.

Make your case, pro or con, for letting the public witness this historic event, as it unfolds live.
