The internet is great for finding information and publicising your opinions and views but sadly there is a growing tendency for the intolerance of others' views and there are sustained attempts to abuse and intimidate individuals.
This issue was recently addressed at a conference: the 5th International forum on Online Dispute resolution in Liverpool, England (I didn't attend) The conference adopted a Respect Pledge for use with Information and Communication Technology (ICT). I have signed up to this pledge.
In short I pledge to:
• communicate online with respect
• listen carefully to others in order to understand their perspectives
• take responsibility for their words and actions
• keep criticism constructive
• respect diversity and be tolerant of differences
We embrace full and open communication and recognize the unique opportunity for expression in the online environment. We support freedom of speech and reject censorship. These principles are not intended to address what ideas can be expressed, but rather the tone with which communications take place.”
If you communicate online I encourage you to take the pledge at Respect Pledge. Thank you

The Portugal 2007 logo reveals a Portuguese view of the visual representation of the Presidency of the European Union.
The "Blue flower" is a symbol of today's Portugal: modernity, harmony, the oceans, transparency and openness to the future.
The petals are arranged freely but concentrically, symbolising the individual contribution of each Member State to the joint endeavour of building Europe.
At least the explanation is a little less pretentious than usual. What does the logo say for you?
