Creating a Culture of Tolerance and Diversity on CC
Posted: Sat Jul 11, 2009 3:28 pm
Hey gang, Saxi here!
Recently there's been some hard feelings all around and I thought we might dedicate a thread to shaking all the sillies out and getting past that. NOTE - IF YOU DISAGREE WITH THE CONTENT OF THIS THREAD, OR FIND IT OF NO INTEREST TO YOU, PLEASE EMPOWER YOURSELF BY CHOOSING NOT TO PARTICIPATE RATHER THAN PARTICIPATING BUT LOUDLY PROCLAIMING YOUR DISINTEREST EVERY FEW MOMENTS. NAME CALLING, ACCUSING, FLAMING, TROLLING AND HATEMONGERING WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED IN THIS THREAD. PLEASE FOLLOW THE RAINBOW RULE. THANKS.
Last week I taught a workshop at a company here in the southland called "Creating a Culture of Tolerance and Diversity." I really would like to create a culture of tolerance and diversity here on CC and invite everyone to take the T&D pledge.
If you'd like to participate, please simply respond by waving your hand in the air and posting "I DO!" in this thread.
Let's make it happen, gang!
THE PLEDGE
1. I pledge to treat and respect others with empathy and in consideration of the experiences - shared and unique - that shape our lives.
2. I pledge to reject nationalism, jingoism, paternalism, xenophobia and chauvinism in how I interact with others and how it shapes my perception of my fellow CC players.
3. I pledge to use non-violent and non-incendiary means of persuasion to counsel those who exhibit the traits I am rejecting by taking this pledge.
4. I pledge to embrace compassion and reason, using temper and moderation, in all my dealings with my fellow CC players. In short, I pledge to obey the Rainbow Rule.
