Welcome!
Hello.
Welcome to the Ethos, the blog of the Practical Ethics website.
Practical Ethics had been around in various forms since 1997. Ethos is a feature I added several years ago, my first attempt at ‘social media’.
I hope you find the information and opinions of this blog helpful as you reflect on what it means to seek the well-being of people, animals and nature. Please do not hesitate to contribute your insights, for together our wisdom is greater than the sum of our individual insights.
So too, pursuing a fruitful conversation takes good will and honest work on the part of all participants. The following netiquette guidelines may be of help to all of us.
* We are only human: be forgiving of other people’s mistakes.
* Be polite and civil always, gracious if you can.
* Know where you are in cyberspace, and act appropriately.
* Respect other people’s privacy, time and bandwidth.
* Share your insights and expertise, and be open to those of others.
* Do not abuse the power and privilege of blogging.
* Do not write in ALL CAPS. Its akin to shouting.
* Do not respond immediately to a posting that upsets you.
* Do not flame others. Instead, help douse flame wars.
