    So, truth be told, I’ve been wrestling with this one for a while. As I’ve tried to find a new and more useful mission for Ham Community, I’ve had to decide what I wanted to keep, what it is I wanted to add, and what I wanted to delete. The new mission, as I currently envision it, is to work to create a place that is focussed on ham knowledge. That’s what the Ham Tournament site is about. That too is why I created Ham History. That’s also why I’m hoping to make Ham Journal into a force for knowledge. And yet, a few people have told me that what they like about Ham Community is that we come together in a spirit of friendship and respect with zero tolerance for trash talking, political confrontation, religious zeal, or any other type of discriminatory or inflammatory diatribe. So yes, in that spirit, it would be nice that we have a place to talk about photography, motorcycles, or repainting the house. But then where do we draw the line? Do we have a 2A section? As you’ll recall Lind, we had talked about this at length. Some wanted it, others did not.

    This is my excessively long winded way of saying that I just don’t know… Any thoughts are welcome!!

Bias is a tendency to favor or lean towards one perspective, person, or group, often at the expense of another. Bias can be conscious or unconscious (implicit) and can influence judgment, decision-making, and behavior. Unlike prejudice, which is explicitly about preconceived notions, biases can be more subtle and can even occur without the individual being fully aware of them. Bias is broader and can be positive or negative, affecting various aspects of life like decision-making in work, preferences in social settings, etc. Bias is basically a difference of opinion and that must be respected.Prejudice, however, refers to negative, preconceived opinions or attitudes held by an individual or group towards another group or individual, often without factual basis or experience. Prejudices are usually harmful, leading to unfair treatment or discrimination. They are often based on stereotypes and can be about race, gender, religion, nationality, or any other distinguishing characteristic. Prejudice is more about feelings and attitudes. Ham Community does not tolerate prejudice. We are all different, that's fine.Remember, duty and honor are built on respect.Use this reporting category sparingly and only if you are quite certain that the member is being openly and hurtfully prejudiced.
