Let me say at once, that we will never use this jurisdiction as a means to uphold our own dignity. That must rest on surer foundations. Nor will we use it to suppress those who speak against us. We do not fear criticism, nor do we resent it. For there is something far more important at stake. It is no less than freedom of speech itself.
It is the right of every man, in Parliament or out of it, in the press or over the broadcast, to make fair comment, even out spoken comment, on matters of public interest. Those who comment can deal faithfully with all that is done in a court of justice. They can say that we are mistaken, and our decisions are erroneous, whether they are subject to appeal or not. All we ask is that those who criticize us will remember that, from the nature of our office, we cannot reply to their criticisms. We cannot enter into public controversy. We must rely on our own conduct itself to be its own vindication.
-- note written by a judge of England's Court of Appeal
有点感触。
现在在一楼和这楼的两个作为方式中思考。我想选哪种。
基本上是Jerry's choice. To pick up my wooden cigarette or not.
I know Alan think Jerry is at his best without it. I have an inclination.
gter在普通斑竹心里是个golden icon,这是保持他们工作积极性的一个手段,但是刚进管理层的人不能不摆明白这一点:我们就是个论坛而已。保持论坛的娱乐性质,create a positive, active working environment,是重中之重。可能我们是因为自己的一些好的品质可以进入这个层面,可一旦进入了,就是平步青云了,真的,所有人不自觉的从下面往上望我们。以前的矜持现在成为傲慢,以前的老好人、调解器,现在成为一碗水端不平。以前是什么样子不重要,因为从你踏进这个版面的一刻,你以前的姿态就全部抹消,涂上新的一层注解了。这个时候,你需要定位自己的位置,自己的工作目标,而工作手段,还是要相信自己的美德,按照自己觉得合适的方式,重新定义。
