Here are some further guidelines for this forum to follow.
----------
*Quoting other sources is fine but do so in the context of your own argument.  
----------
*Don't flood the board with quotes.  Quotes should support the argument you are making, not BE your argument.
----------
*Avoid the "cut and paste" response.  Simply give your personal analysis and perhaps a link to a supporting article.  "Cut and paste" dueling is a no-no.
----------
*Give proper citation when quoting the work of others.  Iinclude enough information that another person could track down the original source with ease.
----------
*Keep the amount of quoted material down to a minimum.   The rule of thumb is "less is  better."  If an entire post is quoted material, it might get deleted.  Again, make your own arguments.
----------
*Try to include a portion of the post to which you are responding so that people can follow the discussion more easily.
----------
*Keep in mind that people who post here may hold opposing worldviews.  Do not be one who is easily offended or one who insists upon Moderator-enforced politeness at all costs.  
----------
*Use discretion in your posts and and tailor responses appropriately.  
----------
* No 'flaming' - in other words, avoid personal attacks, pettiness, abuse. Respect other users, and if you disagree with them, explain why.  Posts that are considered aggressively offensive will be subject to moderation.
----------
* No personal disputes - if it gets personal, take it offline.
----------
* Learn to let go - don't keep harping on about the same thing, or harking back to previous arguments.
----------
* If someone else's post offends you, don't immediately fight back online. Consider whether they really meant to cause offense. It can be easy to sound rude without meaning to. However, if you really are troubled by the post, don't respond - take it to the moderator in private instead.  (But don't demand action.  If a moderator doesn't see things your way, accept it and move on).
----------
*Do not post in all caps.  This is equivalent to yelling.  Since I hate this sort of thing, it's likely I will delete such posts.
----------
*Avoid lecturing.

*Don't waste time by intentionally being divisive.
----------
*Your freedom of speech here comes with responsibility, the responsibility to speak decently within the parameters of the rules.
----------
If you have a problem with a moderator's action, don't discuss it here.  Send a private message.  (But  again, don't demand.  If the moderator doesn't see it your way, let it go and move on).
----------
*Don't beat a dead horse. If the horse is declared "dead" by the moderator, let it lie.

----------
*"Moderators are here for a reason. If a moderator (or Global Moderator or Fencer) requests that a discussion on a certain subject to cease - for whatever reason - please respect these wishes. Failure to do so may result in being hidden, or banned."
