1. You should never call anyone a name, no matter how bad you disagree with them, or how stupid or how much their message gets your dander up, according to your philosophy. That will not be tolerated, and will get you banned, in oh so many ways. You can say anything you want, and your message will be read and responded to as to it's CONTENT, we're not here to call each other names, or degrade one another. That will be a sure fire way for us to invite you not to participate any longer.
2. Obscene material is not for this board. There are a million sites out there for obscene language and material if you want it. This is not one of of them. Now, we didn't say 'risque', we said obscene. You know what it means.
3. Have a good discussion. Not everyone is going to agree. But we can agree to be civil about our disagreements.
4. Participate lots, post lots, and enjoy the fact that your thoughts and opinions COUNT.
That's about it.
