That's an interesting link. I have a bit of a hard time with broad statements like, "Everyone will be heard and respected." One of the problems that leaders face is in deciding who should be heard. There are people who and opinions that are inherently bad. It takes a careful sort of mind to shut out pure noise. Letting bad opinions into a conversation can at times be harmful, if, say, the forum is big enough. I'm not one to think that words are too dangerous to be spoken, but I am one to think that those with their hands on the levers of power have a responsibility to filter inherently dangerous opinions from the mainstream.
