DC Intro: Norms and responsibilities

Vicki Henrickson
Everyone should have the right to express their opinion, regardless of whether the opinion is popular. Comment should not be silenced because it is not politically correct. However, in a civil society, we should be able to expect that these opinions be expressed without explicit profanity, use of foul sexual language or inappropriate epithets.  I realize that is a lot to ask today. Discussion is crucial to exchange of ideas and understanding. I believe that was  said to be the original goal of the Internet - exchange of information and ideas. Unfortunately the cat got out of the bag far too quickly and putting it back will be difficult if not impossible.
