Elsie Snuffin's Ground Rules


Imagine these applied to politics.

Ya, I thought that was funny, too.  It's an aspiration, but one that's going to take some time to implement, since picking fights is integral to winning in politics under our existing model.

As the Open Community emerges, though, and looks for a framework for engagement, there are worse rules to follow than these:


GROUND RULES

Want to chime in? Excellent. Please do.
Here are the ground rules. They’re pretty simple:
Be nice.
Be respectful.
Be fair.
Be honest.
Be civil.
Do interact. Don’t pick fights.
Strong opinions are welcome. Hateful ones aren’t.
So play nice, kids.
