Today, the Charter for Compassion was launched (http://www.charterforcompassion.org/). The charter is a one-page document calling for everyone to treat everyone else with compassion. That is: EVERYONE (even me; even you; not just people who are religious) to treat EVERYONE ELSE (even our enemies; even the anonymous opponents in our multiplayer games; even other gamespot/gamefaq posters whose opinions differ from our own; even celebrities) the way they themselves would like to be treated, with dignity and respect.

We all play games because we love them. We talk about games because we love them. We want to have as good a time as we can playing and talking about games. And we lose nothing from helping others have a good time too, whether we beat them or they beat us or they play a different way from what we're used to, whether they agree with us or disagree with us or write and spell in a different manner than we do.

Games can be competitive, but they needn't be divisive. Much love to you all.
