Owl

An internet movement that promotes respectful internet posting and behavior. An 'owl' is someone who embodies those virtues. (Respect and integrity on the internet.)

The word 'owl' was chosen because of the traditional position the creatures hold in folklore and other morality stories. The owl is always the wise creature to go to. In that way, posters on the internet can strive to be 'owls', or wise and respected posters by being respectful themselves.

John is a very respectful poster on this forum, he's definitely an owl.
