Debate is expected on a discussion forum, and giving the reasons for disagreeing with another opinion is encouraged, but as stated in the guidelines, attacking other posters for their opinions is NOT allowed. I'm removing the instances of calling someone else rude (hello?), and I'll warn that if any posters want to continue to attack other posters in this topic because they don't like their opinions, they may find themselves temporarily unable to do more on the forum than just read the messages. Thanks.
1. Posts should always be made in a polite and respectful manner (though good natured ribbing, if not taken too far, is acceptable), commonly referred to as Netiquette. Netiquette is considered that set of actions and behaviors which allow the enjoyment and utility of boards such as this by all participants. It is related to "real life" etiquette in that it is a set of guidelines and not actual laws. Abiding by Netiquette will help ensure that your experience here is a pleasant one.
3. Debate should be kept on a non-personal basis. Flaming and name-calling will not be allowed. It is never appropriate to attack, criticize, or condemn another poster. Retaliation, sharp reproof and cynicism are to be avoided. Disagreement is a natural occurrence, but as stated above, should be done in a respectful manner. Likewise, these disagreements should not be continued beyond the normal limits of interesting discourse. Argument for argument's sake is not welcome.
