Minding our Ps and Qs: Civility in the Digital Age

Estimated Reading Time: 6 minutes

Civility in the Digital Age Book CoverI don’t do a lot of book reviews here at WUL. For one thing, most business books are dreary reads (yes, I said it), and dreary reads are, for me, slow ones. Which means that the time I spend reading a book to (potentially) give it a review is time I could have spent doing something else… either working on my business, or doing something fun.

Opinions do not a critique make

The other reason is that I don’t think of myself as a book critic. That may seem a weird thing to say, at a time when most people seem to pride themselves on being some kind of critic (or so you’d think, judging by their Facebook posts), and we’re all being encouraged to post our own reviews of this site, and that site, and this book, and that book… why look, what a democratized world we live in! Our opinions matter! But opinions are one thing, informed critiques are another. At least, in my world they are.

This is probably why I don’t get asked to do a lot of book reviews. It’s not that I don’t share my opinion of books, occasionally I do. And today I’m going to do just that. Aren’t you lucky?!

Even if you didn’t pay attention to the story, you probably remember hearing about it; that his remains were found under what is now a parking lot.

It caused quite a stir, not just among Ricardians, who are apparently represented by a few major societies (the Richard III Society is one), but among the populace at large. This is understandable. After all, how often do the real, acknowledged remains of a mediaeval king come to light? And not just any old king, but one who remains a controversial figure to this day.

The two faces of Richard III

If you think of Richard III””which you probably don’t, but if you do””you probably think of him as a villain. A king who was power-hungry and vile, who allegedly murdered his own nephews, and who was generally a royal … word-beginning-with-D-that-rhymes-with-“swoosh-bag.”
