Something Else About Me

[deelaundry]

Here are some principles I personally try to apply when having conversations with others.

- Grant legitimacy to others and assume the best about them.
- Assume others are trying to do the right thing.
- Assume that others may see things that you miss.
- Assume that you may see things that others miss.
- Assume that conflicting views are an important source of learning.
- Understand and be able to articulate the difference between what you observe and how you interpret it.
- Identify alternative interpretations.
- Seek to understand the differences between individuals.

If you see me failing to live up to any of these principles, (a) I'm sorry, and (b) please let me know.

You're always nice and friendly and considerate, dear Dee! This entry just proves that once more.

I must have an appropriate macro stashed away somewhere, I must!

At any rate, I found that entire conversation very interesting and you've always been good about keeping a civil head.

I don't think that I've ever seen you fail to live up to what you believe is right, much less anything that you've listed here.

You are one of the most level-headed people in this fandom, and these words are words to live by.

You've articulated this perfiectly!
Words to live by!
