Oops... no replies in other folder...

And please move to appropriate folder if this is the wrong one.

In keeping with the intentions of Chazz, in his honor and for our new hostess’ efforts to keep the forum strong and active, I make the following pledges while posting in The Big Picture:

1. I will no longer demean posters with references to “flouncing”. Many left for many reasons, real and imagined. Should they return, let’s welcome them with grown up conversations

2. I will no longer play games with people’s chosen screen names. I might spell wrong, but won’t twist “OSarge” into “OldSludge” or similar nicknames for other posters.

3. When I disagree with posters ideologies, politics, religion, perception of history etc, I will refrain from sinking into personal tit-for-tat slamming and insults to the posters.

However, I reserve the right to slam public figures

4. When I see left leaning posters attack right leaning posters or right leaning posters attack left leaning posters , I will not take sides of the personal attacks, only the actual issues. I will only remind both sides of personal attacks to “be nice” and try to continue the current events discussion or just step away.
