Folks,
We allow dissent, debate, and disagreement on issues. We welcome people who feel passionately about the subjects under discussion. We have no problem when the members of a community disagree, even when they passionately disagree. What we do not allow are conversations that degenerate into name-calling, insults, and/or general chaos that lead to the overall disruption to the flow of conversation on a forum. When you post negative personal comments about other people in the discussion, instead of sticking to the issues, you are in violation of our Terms of Service - it does not matter 'who' started it.
I suggest that before you post a message, please re-read it and ask yourself, is this about the issue or about the other posters? Is this actually contributing to the discussion, or am I just attacking someone? If your message is not about the issue, but is in fact an attack against the person, don't post it. It's that simple. Folks that go out of their way to attack back at someone create more problems on the forum than the original problem itself.
