No Racism! We are all one

No Personal attacks of any kind

No pyramid schemes or money making opportunities and scams

No disturbing pix

This pretty much covers the ground.........

Your choice! One week counter then YOU have decided. If it turns out "NO"...anyone whining in the lounge starting threads on a member will be up for a little vacation based on personal attacks.

I don't expect ANYONE in this area to back down or tune off. But as you know, SOMEONE had to bring it up so this is the best logical way to go...in my estimation at least.

Hell, I used to be one of the "Kings" of flame in this area....I know how the shit flys when your havin' a good time with a "discussion". LOL

Have a good one and I'll be checking next friday one the peoples choice.:thumbsup:

I don't think that's necessarily true about how we'd all vote. There are some well-mannered conservatives, too.

In this instance, I don't see why the rules here ought to be different. Seriously. I think if any areas merit manners and civility, it ought to be politics and sexuality. Particularly because they tend to be heated subjects. But also because they're particularly influential, too. The conservative talking heads on TV ought not to be allowed to get away with the insults they freely throw around, either, but it draws ratings in so they do, and the insults further draw in the simpletons who watch them devotedly, too, because they're not discriminating enough to watch or understand a sane, reasoned discussion. Also, the Shout TV factor, as it's called, treads a very fine line and often doesn't quite cross the line into incivility.

I use the word influential, particularly in regards to sexuality because we have so many youngsters on that board and so many of them don't seem to be getting any encouragement toward reasonable, respectful behavior from any other direction. I know we're not their mamas or daddies, but we can set an example and take the high road.

As for the low-road takers here on politics, their incivility and profanity is generally an indicator that they don't have the intellectual capability to articulate themselves in any other way. Yes, political discussions get heated. But in the rules of debate or in a conversation in someone's living room, which is what I think this is like, I have to hope people wouldn't get so out of control.

Manners and civility say a lot about people. You don't see people (other than our vice president) cursing and using profanity in either of the houses of our legislature. You don't see it being allowed in debate rules, either. The only reason it happens here is that I think the worst "anger-meisters" are also the worst cowards. They hurl insults and tell others to go you-know-what themselves because they're anonymous and also because I think they must feel very impotent in other areas. They're often also very immature.

I vote for manners. I always do. I don't say this because I'm a lady or a Southerner, although I think those factors probably color my opinions. I say it because I think manners and civility are a dying breed and because I think the rules enforcement has done a great deal to make the rest of these boards a safer, more enjoyable place to be. Particularly for women, who are in the minority here.

Thanks for asking, by the way, Psycho4Bud. You know me well enough to have been able to anticipate in advance what my vote would have been. Hope you're doing well!

Not so fast with the love there, Bong. Most of us working "libs" don't get home and unwound enough from our workaday bleeding-heart battles to vote until early evening. . . .
