Let's Show All Users a Little More Courtesy Please

[ila]

Some of the recent postings on the site have been very discourteous and personal in their attacks on others. Here is what Rule 4 of the Forum Rules states:

4. Do not post people's personal information, or attack people personally, stick to the issues. Do not threaten or put down other users, we strive to make it a friendly place.

Please don’t come on here and flame everybody else on the site. If you don’t agree with what someone posts just say so. Don’t attack the person that posted it. Or better yet if you don’t like what someone says don’t say anything at all.
This site is open to everyone, over age 18, that has an internet connection. There are almost 7 billion people in the world. That means that for any topic there are potentially 7 billion opinions. Just because you have an opinion doesn’t mean that yours is the only opinion and it doesn’t make necessarily make you right, nor does it make you wrong or anyone wrong. Respect what others have to say and give them the same courtesy that you would like. You should also realize that others are allowed to express an opinion, not just those that agree with you.
Also if you really don’t like what someone posts instead of just giving that person a “bad reputation vote� try sending a PM to that person instead. You might get a nice reply back (or you might not, but at least you tried). If you really do insist on giving a person a “bad reputation vote� at least have the intestinal fortitude to identify yourself to said person.
Thankyou. I hope the forum discourse takes a turn for the better again.
