Introductions

Put a short bio and quick key word (tags?) introductions


 * What can help others quickly get a sense of where we are coming from
 * Short, but not too pegged into a category

Bill: Interested in practice first, and technology later. Civil interaction requires listening, kindness, and honesty, and maybe in that order.

Nancy: (moderator)Why waste a chance to connect? Deeply interested in how we interact online. Chocoholic.

Jimmie: Interested in conversation aimed toward solving the problems we have in common. Part of the difficulty in this panel comes down to one question, "How do you give someone a step-by-step guide to being nice?"

Tish (draft): Interested in keeping channels of communication open between bloggers/people as well as between bloggers/people and institutions/organizations/etc. How do we get people to understand that bullying others (whether people or institutions) doesn't create conversation or community even if it meets a personal need? And that we don't have to take it.

Grace: Eager to bridge the gaps between opposing ideologies/political parties/working moms versus stay at home moms/youth and aged. The middle way is always the best way. Jedi Mommyblogger.
