Blogging Ethics

GigglePundit has an excellent post on the ethics of demonization in the blogging world. Well worth the read and even more important to practice. I find that if I am tempted to use the word "stupid", chances are I have failed in framing the argument and/or crafting the text. Posts which I feel push the line have been submitted to others for editorial review. The"Empathy Test", as proposed by Flash of Centrisity, is prudent and reasonable; even if HE IS ABSOLUTELY WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING else.
