It's been a year or two since I have followed the list. Only a few months ago
have I returned
to following the list again. It's a great source of information to share with
my science teacher
at my high school, past and present. I also enjoy reading about the latest
falls, price updating,
and networking.
However, it is not enjoyable to read the conquests, arguments, fights, personal
attacks, & skirmishes.
Debating a topic is one of the best parts of being involved in the scientific
community.
Forgetting some important things can lead to crossing the line from making your
point to making yourself
look like a jerk!
Here are some to keep in mind when posting:
Integrity
Honor
Valor
Excellency
We all slip. Some more than others.
Regardless, we all shouldn't forget the most
important things:
Forgiveness & understanding.
For those of us who need more refining (like me)
a great guide of manners is the list of manners George
