READY for a recession?

ScienceChic wrote: Offensiveness is subjective; what may be to you is not to another and vice versa. We moderate based on whether a post is discussing the topic issue or a member who posted. Posts are split out and moved to The Ring if they discuss each other in demeaning or insulting ways as the Courthouse Forum is strictly for discussion of the issues.

As I've mentioned before, "What you allow is what will continue" and the internet is littered with sites where personal attacks, threats, and fighting/drama are allowed and/or encouraged. We strive to be better than that and have a place that is friendly, welcoming, and fair to all. Offense can be taken so much more quickly at written words because tone, body language, inflection, etc are all missing and as soon as someone gets upset at something someone wrote in reply to them, discussions go downhill. We don't ban that, we simply ask that it be taken to our no-holds-barred Ring Forum instead so we can have a place here that is stress and drama free to discuss the issues that affect us all.

If you have any additional questions, you are always welcome to email or PM me, or reply to the moderation thread I linked above, so we don't take this topic off-course with a discussion on moderation. Thanks!
