> How far do we go as a community on these ethics/behavior rules. If we cross certain lines, we could get into the whole censorship thing.

I hesitate to comment on this because I've seen threads hijacked for far, far less and I'm afraid that this has potential to do so.

Against my better judgement, I'm going to go ahead.

To that question, I think that there are pretty clear lines as to what should be censored. There are somethings that are complete intolerable. We talked a little bit about this in the show. I've personally made the mistake of not doing _enough_ moderation on my own site, so I'm learning from those mistakes.

With that said, I think there are some things that - although rough - are worth having shared. Then there are things that are blatant harassment, immature, and generally against what's considered mature decorum.

Those are the things that should be moderated, I would guess. I'd like to think those cut across culture boundaries, but I don't want to make too many assumptions, either.

> Each individual member in the community has different values, we come from different countries/cultures/regions/etc..each with it’s own set of values.

This is to true to a degree, but personally attacking someone is something that should not be tolerated. I'm speaking from experience in comments that did just this and have lead me to re-evaluate my stance on several things that have transpired the past few weeks.

Ultimately my goal is to be the best community member I can possibly be, even if that means taking the heat for some poor decisions. We're all adults, though. I'd like to think we can handle it.

How many times have we read headlines in the local newspaper, magazines, publications, etc., that praise this type of behavior and thought "yeah! that's what we need to do! harm the humans!"

I say that with a bit of /s, but the point I try to make is that I personally think there are subjective values we all hold, and there's some objective values we hold. Perhaps the latter should be discussed at some point. I don't know. Just a thought.

> When does criticizing crosses into the line of harassment.

You criticize ideas; you harass people. That's where [I believe] the line is.
