BBT’s HEROES & ZEROS

Heroes posts will highlight individuals and organizations who are dedicated to helping the homeless and other marginalized members of society. Those who are making outstanding contributions will be placed in our Heroes Hall of Fame.

Prime examples of this are Dr Monika Stark and her life partner Mark.

Zeros Wall of Shame posts will highlight individuals and organizations who, intentionally or unintentionally, hinder the aid the homeless and other marginalized members of society need.

Unless they are so egregious as to merit an expose in which a journalist can legally name the individuals and organizations involved and provide supporting documentation, these posts will be presented as case studies in failed leadership in which the privacy of those involved will be protected by obscuring their identity and where the incident took place.

As such, like all case studies, their purpose will be to start the learning process’ discussion of the legal, moral, and other issues involved when an individual’s and/or an organization’s actions either have the potential to or have actually cause(d) more harm than good.

To prevent a public discussion that could turn rather nasty, comments will be turned off. And all discussion will take place in the either the public forums or, more likely, in the members only private forums of the Community subsite.
