Subject: RULES
Okay, folks, there are only a few rules here but they do need to be
followed. Two have recently been forgotten too often.
First off, being combative is not at all acceptable. It is okay to
disagree on points but extreme statements and name calling are
anything but acceptable. I personally am getting tired of having to
reject posts from people who are not concentrating on the points
under discussion, not adding new information, or can't accept that
others will not have the same opinions, but instead become combative.
Second, remember that you must trim quotes to be about the same size
or smaller than what you write.
If you have comments upon this then send them PRIVATELY to us
moderators at our address, rather than sending them publicly, but
realize that this is not going to change. Our FIRST rule when we
first arose was to have this be a civil forum. It you address points
and do so in a civil manner then your post will appear. If not, then
you will have to rewrite, and that simply is that.
