社群討論的三不原則

在英語演講練習團體Toastmaster的團員互動中，提到會員談話時最好不要提及跟政治、宗教與性別有關的話題，如此就會少去很多困擾，這三不原則在網路社群裡也一樣適用，老師教書時或演講時也最好注意這原則

我們大學同學之間有一個eMail list，大家用來傳遞聚會或旅遊的訊息，最近有位同學提到對台灣政局的不滿，在位者老做些激起族群衝突與對立的事情，結果讓另外一些人不舒服，提到這三不原則，希望班代CC能擔當起維持秩序的角色

結果引發了一連串的回應，有些人站在支持立場，有些人則認為大家都快六十歲的人了，應該有接納不同聲音的雅量，也有設身處地為他人設想，去深入了解對方想法和背景的能力，假如真的不喜歡，就把它當成垃圾郵件丟了就好，何必如此在意？有位同學Henry寫得很好，像大家都是受過良好教育的人，有能力分辨是非，假如大家見面只能談家人孩子或股票，這樣的友誼還能持久嗎？

其實我們同學聚餐時多少也會談到政治，不過大家都還能以幽默的態度面對，只是我現在才知道班上綠色陣營的同學很多，而且顏色很深，所以我講話還是蠻小心的，何必為了這些事傷和氣呢


Dear Classmates,

SW's group policy looks fair at the beginning to maintain our friendships without any unpleasant argues or debates. But under further thinking during the weekend, I decided to write the e-mail in Chinese to state my point of view. But when I came back to work today, I found other classmates, have about the same opinion as I have that you might have already seen their e-mail. So I just simplified to say in English that the well educated people like us should be able to distinguish between the right or wrong. The DAs in Taiwan have already hold some documents and the witness of President's corruptions, but why people in Green Party still support him ? Actually I don't have any relation to the Blue Party, at least I feel some of their political people are lawful and have the justice in mind. I agree with CC's fairness and let this web site open for discussion, just like those Tibetan Lamas have their regular debates on Budhish bible during their high level learning in college.

When we meet together and only talk about the family affairs, do you think these kind of friendship will be lasting longer ? Hope we can do something to let our people in Taiwan have more confidence to face the worldwide competition and still live free of unnecessary worries. Best wishes !! Henry

I read SW's “Group Policy”. Well, what’s going on? Now I know. I am not against any classmate using this mail list talking politics. Just don’t get emotional. I am very curious why we grew up in the same environment and got same education could have so different views. I had talked to a number of Blues and Greens. Nobody is against corruption and embezzlement. I think they all have their points. Most of them are good guys. I just think Blues have to understand Greens better and vice versa, and both sides have to learn how to compromise each other CC
