Just another "friendly" reminder about the rules. I've suspended 3 people today for breaking the rules in the politics board so far, and I'm not even done reading for the day.
Some things to consider when posting:
* Write about posts, arguments, and positions, not members.
* Avoid generalizations about and dismissive names for groups of people.
* If you’ve got data, evidence, or proof, provide it and a source. If you don’t, recognize that you’re arguing from experience, anecdote, and a limited perspective.
* Ask other members questions, particularly if you disagree. That’s a good way to avoid the sorts of erroneous assumptions that are otherwise inevitable in on-line communication.
* Think about pronouns: “I” is generally good, “we” is tricky, and “you” is almost always a bad idea, as it implicates members and not their ideas.
* Recognize that you’re unlikely to prove someone’s beliefs are wrong, but that a respectful explanation of why you disagree might help them understand your position.
