Folks,
We allow dissent, debate, and disagreement on ISSUES. 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 people post negative or personal comments about other people in the discussion, instead of sticking to the issues, that is in violation of our Terms of Service - it does not matter 'who' started it.
Debate the issue - do not single out and attack another person. It's that simple.
Please remember that these forums are moderated. Folks should already be aware of the fact that by registering and using our sites and services, everyone here has agreed that that they have read, and will abide by, our Terms of Service.
If on our forums there is a topic of discussion (or certain individual/s participating is said discussion) that is not to your liking, there is always a personal choice to skip it and move on. There is no obligation on anyone to take part in any let alone every discussion held on any of the forums.
If you simply cannot ignore the urge to attack someone for whatever reason - DO NOT disrupt the forums by posting complaints or attacks against those individuals here - those posts will be pulled for violation of the rules. Take your fighting elsewhere - either private email or to some other website.
If the fighting on this forum does not cease then people are going to find themselves locked out of being able to post here.
