[governance] Respectful Interface

[Eric Dierker]

I am partaking on a rather long and sometimes boring independent work on International Norms for discourse. (I have found within a 20 mile radius there may be as many as 100 norms of respect, yet cities and rural have less in common than do cities from America and East Asia).
 
But today I took a side trip to an 1865 original schoolhouse from the American Southwest. Clearly the easiest place to find instruction on how to act is in education. 
 
This was quite a fun find and I believe I will find the origins in Jolly old England.  It is relevant here as we watch and undertake a vote, tightening controls over interface on this list.  Rules change and cultures deviate in a general way. But our systems are not so different than how we treated abhorrent behavior in the past. In my grade school we did not have lashes, we had swats on the behind. I was a record holder no doubt ;-)
 
ps - I searched for copywrites - if any one knows, please let them know I am a scoundrel.
