The forum is starting to degenerate somewhat in to personal attacks.
It has not yet become a big problem, so I ask that we all think before we post. Ask yourself a question: Does this pertain to the issues at hand, and the subject of this forum?

Thanks folks.

What exactly is a personal attack, since this is probably directed mostly at me?

It means do not make observations about the person, address the issues.

Your opponent's race,creed,personal hygene, parentage, etc are not topics of discussion (Outside biblical characters, and in context).

Not directed at you, but the community as a whole. just heading off a minor trend before it takes root.

Simply put, don't flame.

I would LOVE to. Can you point me in the right direction? I can't seem to find them.
