Dallas Wittgenfeld sends us a link to the Army Times<\/a> article about the Army cracking down on “Harassment, bullying, hazing, stalking, discrimination, retaliation and any other type of misconduct” on the internet. Of course, Dallas, in his infinite wisdom and his inability to examine his own behavior, thinks that, somehow, this pertains to us. <\/p>\n

First of all, the Army’s policy only affects members of the Army and the DoD civilians. It doesn’t affect folks who have been retired from the Army for more than 20 years. Secondly, we don’t harass, stalk or bully anyone. We just publish facts about people, and if they think that telling the truth about them is somehow bullying, well, that’s their problem isn’t it?<\/p>\n

We don’t approve of the type of behavior that the Army seeks to regulate;<\/p>\n

[Behavior] that undermines dignity and respect are not consistent with Army values and negatively impact command climate and readiness,\u201d said Paul Prince, an Army spokesman, in response to an Army Times request regarding the [All-Army Activities] message. \u201cSoldiers or civilian employees who participate in or condone misconduct, whether offline or online, may be subject to criminal, disciplinary and\/or administrative action.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We agree completely and many of the new commenters who engage in that type of behavior get whacked.<\/p>\n

Note to 1SG Moerk;<\/p>\n

Online-related incidents should be addressed \u201cat the lowest possible level,\u201d Prince said, adding that Army Regulation 600-20, \u201cArmy Command Policy,\u201d contains \u201cpunitive language regarding harmful use of electronic media.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
