Rules of Engagement
1. Please remain respectful of other contributors
When disagreeing with other contributors, please play the ball and not the man. We would suggest that if your argument is superior to that of the person you are debating, you will convince a greater number of readers of this fact with clearly communicated, well-reasoned logic and, perhaps above all, courtesy, than by attempting to establish that the person with whom you are arguing is intellectually deficient, per se.
Historically, often-irrational persons have sometimes held logical positions, and usually-rational persons have sometimes held logically indefensible positions.
2. Please Don't Spam or Advertise
We define spam as unsolicited advertisement for goods, services and / or other websites; and posts with little, or completely unrelated content. Please do not spam the comment areas with links to your site or product, business or forum, unless doing so clearly pertains to the objective of the discussion.
3. Please don't post copyright-infringing material
Please do not ask for information on how to illegally obtain copyrighted materials.
4. Please don't post defamatory or obscene content
Any material that is obscene, illegal to possess or disseminate, or which constitutes defamation, harassment, or abuse is prohibited.
5. Please retain confidentiality
Should you have privileged information about a person, which you believe will usefully discredit the proponent of an argument you are attempting to oppose, please do not disclose this information - unless it pertains to a matter of public record and you would be willing to defend your disclosure in the event that you were prosecuted.
We will endeavour to remove content that breaches the above requirements. If we fail to do so, please alert us.
