A new campaign aimed at increasing sensitivity towards hurtful language has been launched - Think B4 You Speak is supposed to teach people that word choice is important. Mike LaBossiere, a professor of philosophy at Florida A&M, has written a piece for Talking Philosophy tying this campaign in to online gaming, and Halo in particular. Solid read - it's a subject that's worth looking at, but maybe this new campaign isn't the right approach. (Penny Arcade's Tycho agrees.) (Louis Wu 10:49:07 UTC)
