A Pledge for Constructive Dialogue
I believe a commitment to constructive dialogue will make us a better community. Therefore, I commit that...
- I will treat others with respect in my public discourse both in person and online and will not hide behind anonymity.
- I will recognize that people are more than their points of view and have feelings, just as I do.
- I will seek to understand those with different points of view before asking to be understood.
- I will not allow uncivil behavior from others to lead me to respond in kind.
