I talk a lot about ethics and morals in business but the reality is that moral and ethical decisions follow us every where. Let’s step out of the box a minute and think about morals and ethics in another venue: gaming. And how easily we can make excuses when we “want” something.
In college one of my teachers “tested” us to see what our ethics standards were. At the end of the test our teacher gave us this story – and everyone immediately knew their grade. I’m going to share the story.
A successful CEO realized it was his time to retire and to pick a replacement. Great [...]
I cannot remember who told me this but I was told (in school) for every positive (pro) there is a negative (con). The pro of the internet being cheap is that everyone (just about) can get on the internet. A con is that people think they have business skills they don’t have and start projects [...]

This makes sense because people usually don’t morph into completely different people (morals, ethics, interests, etc.) when they get online. [...]
The #1 problem I have with men in my life: they try to make things appear differently than things really are. I don’t understand it because the truth always comes out but when it does, I’ve lost respect because of the smoke and mirrors (lies). When I ask why they do this the usual response [...]
What do you do if, as a blogger, you get yourself in a mess? This happens with 9rules member more than you’d think but they aren’t as big or publicized as much as the Mashable mess. Usually it’s a bad comment causing a mob of criticism.
I know I am going to be asked, “Tyme what [...]
It intrigues me why people do the things they do. In the Editing Comments note I understand completely where people are coming from about being tempted in editing comments (although I am not, ever tempted, to edit anyone’s words).
