Certainly I have no views positive or negative on how, when or why you chose to leave this platform for another. It just is what it is. Neutral.

There is certainly a lot of lip service, but it all really boils down to money. Newspaper and TV stations are businesses first. Some of the people down in the trenches might think they are great professionals with high ethical standards, but that is a naive attitude. Upper management considers those people cogs in the money machine, pretty much interchangeable and useful as long as what they does helps the bottom line.

Glad to see you will continue posting philosophical thoughtfulness.

Will now go check out your new digs and colleagues.

I hope I have enough empathy and regard for all of these bloggers to respect that they have made (and are making) the best decisions in light of their own values and interests, their own stamina and limits, their own relationship with blogging as an activity and this network of bloggers as a community.

This paragraph is made of awesome. Wish more folks understood this nuance better and gave their blogging colleagues the needed courtesy. And let me assure you empathy is one thing you have by the truckloads, among many of your other admirable traits.

Farewell!

]]> Comment on Friday Sprog Blogging: the bunny has landed. by David Harmon http://scienceblogs.com/ethicsandscience/2010/05/07/friday-sprog-blogging-the-bunn/#comment-14848 David Harmon Mon, 02 Aug 2010 12:57:06 +0000 http://scienceblogs.com/ethicsandscience/2010/05/07/friday-sprog-blogging-the-bunn/#comment-14848 I beg to differ with anna on keeping rabbits indoors. I had a rabbit indoors (I was living in apartments), and he was the most destructive pet I’ve ever seen! I called my time with him “The War of the Wires” for all the computer, phone, and power cords he chewed through. Not to mention carpet, furniture, clothes, books… 10+ years (and an interstate move) after his death from old age (6yo), I *still* have possessions with toothmarks on them. And then there was the business of pissing on my bed (and carpet)! If I hadn’t loved the little guy so much, he’d have been rabbit stew several times over….

PS: The big “don’t” for handling rabbits is, don’t touch them under the chin — that triggers a reflex bite.

However, I am heartened to have the link to Scientopia, which I hope grows in the future.

I have found your blog consistently useful and thought-provoking, with extremely well-articulated arguments and analyses. Plus the sprogs.

Thanks, and see you on scientopia.

I hope all the big important things are very well with you!
