It looks as though I’ve won something.

posted in General by themaiden |

Justin, from Politics and Religion, has created a new web log award. It looks as though I am one of the first set of five winners and I am happy to be on the list.

This award is given to Blogs that demonstrate respect towards others, research and consideration of opposing views, free-flowing conversation with commenters, and an overall spirit of civility and openness. It is time we recognize such commendable behavior on the internet.

Open Mind Award « Politics & Religion

Well, I aim for respect and civility, though I fail more than I’d like, and I always hope for conversation with people of opposing views. Really, there is no other good reason for this blog.

It is hard to catch one’s owns mistakes, though. So I stick my neck out, hoping someone will bite. Argument, you see, is not competitive. It is not a clash of armies. Everyone is on the same side in the search for the truth. Or, everyone should be, otherwise someone is just being dogmatic.

Why the hell would you want Inclusive Debates?

The award has a kind of viral structure. The instructions for winners reads:

  1. Feel free to put the Award badge on your website side menu or wherever works best
  2. Link to this page so that people can easily find the origin of the Award
  3. Write a post on your blog linking to five blogs that you believe blog with an open mind

Stay tuned for my five picks. I’ll post them within a few days.
