For me, my values and ethics definitely revolve around logic and even-handedness. In this context, that means being consistent in what I expect from people and from myself, being consistent in how I treat others (and more recently myself), delivering a basic level of respect to all humans regardless of who or what or where they are. If I apply it to them, I apply it to me. It means integrity, making decisions based on what I think/believe/forecast to be best in the world, not based on what's easiest for me or most pleasant. I'd rather be right than happy. It also, for me, means upholding a solid but spare moral framework that supports as many worldviews as possible without sacrificing structural integrity. Bits of it are flexible; bits of it aren't. As a default, it also means allowing space for right of reply/explanation when people have screwed up in my view, or have starkly differing viewpoints. I'm a relativist. There may be information there that I'm missing; without it how can I make a judgement? (Hello there Ne.)
Notably, individuals may forfeit their right to this minimum from me by violating the principles that uphold it -- and, crucially, not caring, not responding appropriately to being pulled up on it, and not making any attempt to apologise or change. If you smash the foundations supporting the floor you stand on, don't look surprised when you fall, and don't look upset when I don't rush to catch you. I don't get a trampoline any more than you do. Them's the rules.
