I spotted these ‘Five Values’, below, on my visit to Radio Live’s website to pay my respects to the lovely Kerry Smith.

Despite the label, they’re not really values in the sense of virtues. They’re more like policies, really (e.g. ‘post using your real name only, do not use ‘Caps Lock’) but I appreciated reading them.

They made me consider again my own aspirational virtues and my ‘values’ for thePaepae.com. (I fall short, sometimes, but hey …)

The ‘preaching hate’ one is cut to ribbons now and then by Radio LIVE’s own ‘shock jock’ and his antics, in my personal opinion.

And as for “You are responsible for ensuring your opinion does not contravene any New Zealand laws” … well, that’s kinda lame and ineffectual, it seems to me.

Nevertheless, iIt’s definitely worth putting how you intend to play the game out there. Yup.

Four ‘cardinal virtues‘ …
Prudence, Justice, Fortitude, Temperance.

Nice goals.

But actions speak louder than words.
