I have accounts at other sites and I saw this-
Online Integrity By: The Directors on RedState. Originally from
onlineintegrity.org. I wondered what you think of it.
- Private persons are entitled to respect for their privacy regardless of their activities online. This includes respect for the non-public nature of their personal contact information, the inviolability of their homes, and the safety of their families. No information which might lead others to invade these spaces should be posted. The separateness of private persons' professional lives should also be respected as much as is reasonable.
- Public figures are entitled to respect for the non-public nature of their personal, non-professional contact information, and their privacy with regard to their homes and families. No information which might lead others to invade these spaces should be posted.
- Persons seeking anonymity or pseudonymity online should have their wishes in this regard respected as much as is reasonable. Exceptions include cases of criminal, misleading, or intentionally disruptive behavior.
- Violations of these principles should be met with a lack of positive publicity and traffic.
Now before you get all ballistic on me, I will point out that
My Left Wing is listed as one of the signatories. What ever you think about MSOC, you can hardly call her conservative. It is also endorsed by
Armando.
My position is this. My extended remarks are these-
If you claim to be Jimmy Carter, you better be Jimmy Carter. If you want to post under your own name, you're braver than I. Kudos.
On the other hand many authors choose to publish under pseudonyms- Sam Clemens, Joe Klein, and a few others. Motives vary, but they operate under the handicap that you can only judge the work by the quality of the writing, not the content of the character.
If you ever feel I'm being dishonest with you, I'm sure you'll let me know.
