For me this is the single most important maxim for politics and public discourse https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/07/29/against-signal-boosting-as-doxxing/">https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/07/2...

Even if there& #39;s some truth in DC& #39;s charge that this story is being ruthlessly and aggressively weaponised by opponents, it& #39;s hard to feel sympathetic to him.

It& #39;s also why the giggling over that civil service tweet was so misguided and why we shouldn& #39;t applaud BBC journalists who break norms of neutrality just because we agree with what the say.

And as @slatestarcodex says so well in that post, it& #39;s a good argument for not being hostile and mean-spirited on social media

It has become distilled in my head to "Promote the norms by which you wish to be judged".
