To: Terriergal; Right Wing Professor
Thank you for your question!

So am I to understand it correctly that we are free to attack posters who have not signed on, even if we have?

Whereas the Language Restraint applies to complying posters, as Right Wing Professor has observed --- it should also be noted that the overarching principle of the agreement is this:

Effective August 9, 2003, we, the undersigned, freely and in good faith agree that henceforth we shall treat others on these threads as we wish to be treated ourselves.

Thus, a "willing" should never be more harsh with another poster than he would want to be treated himself were the situation reversed.

Oh. Well that *can* be interpreted many different ways... what happens to people who are bothered insults like a duck is bothered by a little rain? It would be easy to say "I don't mind being called a blowhard" (or insert whatever term was used) in defense of one's own actions.

OK, I take back the 'blowhard'; although I'd rather be called a blowhard than a liberal.
