Code of Ethics

To write, publish, and be read is a privilege and responsibility. Being mindful of that privilege and responsibility:

1. I will not barter my words or my silence.
2. I will disagree with other opinions respectfully.
3. I will write and advocate openly and honestly.
4. I will strive for accuracy in detailing the facts of my posts, avoiding errors and correcting them when discovered.
5. I will strive for balance; even in advocacy, I will not distort or suppress obviously relevant facts to bolster my argument.
6. I will welcome and invite rebuttal.
7. I will disclose my sources fully usually through links in my posts.
8. I will keep things told to me in confidence private (this includes NDAs).
9. I will reveal material conflicts-of-interest.
10. I will reply to emails and comments to the best of my ability. I receive my fair share of email so if I do not respond, promptly please be patient. I read everything.
