Thank you, Jim.
Decorum is why this site is so highly regarded.

This place is almost like a ....... (get ready for it)........... SAFE SPACE
lol
But seriously, it is a safe space, in the older connotation of the phrase. It’s a safe space to communicate.
Not the new meaning, which is being shielded from certain sets of opinions.
But really, I hadn’t really thought about it a lot until now. For the most part, this place self moderates remarkably well. I’m sure there’s some active moderation too, but that seems to be rather unobtrusive. It’s rather impressive to think about particularly, as Aevery mentioned, when you think about the nastiness you typically encounter in comment sections and communities.

You mean like this? ;)
Agreed. It is one of the main reasons why I come back here and pay my dues every year.
Sure, we can be rough in spririt, but we keep it remarkably free of profanity, which I appreciate. I have spent a good part of my adult life trying to refrain from using it excessively, and FR has helped.
