Integrity - Does it exist within the community? Should it exist in the Staff?

in·teg·ri·ty

: the quality of being honest and fair
: firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values
: the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness.
Do you believe "integrity" exists among the membership here? Among the staff?

By our very presence here, as a group, we seem to have made a conscious decision to go against the moral compass of the society we live in. Most of our peers, family and/or friends would judge us harshly by standards we certainly do not adhere to if they knew the nature of our "hobby".

I've been pondering the concepts of integrity, honesty, trust worthiness and morality in regards to members, staff and situations that exist within the community.

Do you think that based on our wholesale decision to break rules and not conform to society's expect-able standards of behavior we have any right to expect "honesty" and "fairness" from staff?

I think its because we do live in a society that to much we do think about what people think is acceptable and what isn't. I have thought and pondered this and I have to say that because of those of us that do choose this hobby, does that give someone the right to ask if we could not be trusted as a loyal staff member or a trustworthy member of a certain community?
I think each individual that you have in your life rather it be professional personal or otherwise should always be based on the actions of that person as an individual and there actions. Im going to ponder this further because well everyone knows I don't seem to let what the people in This "Society we Live in" think change me one way or the other. Rather im stepping into my office, talking to my employees or active in this hobby im still the same person and don't ever change my honesty, integrity, or morals. I just stay me. I must say Whispers, Thank you not many people can peak my mind however this has me thinking.

In a word, no.

Without going into any details which will just start a flame war, neither is this the best place to find integrity , nor will it do you any good to "expect" fairness (whatever is fair from your point of view) anywhere. Someone did something you didn't like. That sucks. Read a few posts in the alerts forum, be glad none involve you, and move on.
