"Some of this is starting to creep into our forum again, hence the reminder.
Debate the issues all you want, but please don't make it personal. Keep it clean, above board and above belt.
Also, whether pro or con, keep the q stuff off our regular forum threads. Post it on the q thread in chat/conspiracy. But again, keep it clean, don't make it personal, no name calling, no attacks, no threats, no violence.
Don't be a TROLL. Stay on topic, don't flame, don't engage in flamewars, feuds, cross-thread arguments, stalking or harassment.
If you don't like the subject or topic of the thread to the point you become abusive or trollish, stay off it.
The rules also apply to FReepmail. Do not send profane, insulting, threatening, harassing or otherwise unwanted or abusive messages.
If someone says stop, stop.
Do not harass or pester the mods."
Thanks

also,
“q and non-q do not mix and that’s why they have their own threads. We’ll keep it that way. Thanks”
and
It’s not a matter of debate or dissent. I just don’t appreciate the insults and resulting flamewars, so it’s best (IMHO) to try to keep q stuff off our regular threads and non-q posters off the q threads. Thanks for trying to appreciate my concerns and for humoring me on this.
