[Tfug] Reminder to respect one another

[Liz_Ravenwood at beaerospace.com]

Does the acceptable use policy need to be updated to specify which words 
shouldn't be used? 

or used in which context?  :-)  Just how much needs to be 
monitored/regulated/legislated ...?

I think we do just need to work on being kind with each other at the same 
time understanding that we all have different opinions about what offends 
us.  There will always be that hyper-sensitive minority, and I don't 
believe that we should legislate ourselves to their discriminating tastes. 
 If they choose to self-marginalize, so be it.  Being a member of the 
human race will always give us a few bumps and bruises, and if we can come 
out of it just a little more compassionate instead of so bitter, all the 
better.

We can't and shouldn't try to exert such control over each other because 
something offends us either.  I get really offended by ignorance if 
someone refuses to open their mind up, but there's not too much I can do 
about that except an attempt at polite and respectful dialog and then 
retreat to my own corner to catch a breath.

anyway...  gotta do some work around here some time.

Respectfully,

[Tfug] Reminder to respect one another






Hi All,

I am worried that the recent 'profanity' discussion may degrade 
to the point where we are insulting people for their personal 
opinions. Please do not forget the Acceptable Use Policy 
(http://tfug.org/aup.html).

Let's focus on building a community of people that respect one 
another even though we may wildly disagree on certain topics.

-- 
Glen
