“There should be people who are willing to provide personal support to others who are ostracized this way — and that support should be available regardless of gender, age, or other circumstances. I won’t support anything that only offers support to women and not men, we must help unpopular people, even people who we think are mean. It’s no crime to be unpopular, and you can measure our humanity by how good we are to people we don’t like. ”
–Dave Winer, writing about the Kathy Sierra incident and stopping cyberbullying.
Susan sez: Dave’s instances of speaking his mind AND getting it right seem to be going up almost daily and this is a wonderful and true post.
