This is a place to speak your mind about stuff and not worry!
1. What is said and done here should stay here. Do not bring someone's personal rant into other forums, they posted it here for a reason.
2. No personal attacks. Do not 'call out' a member. In the previous incarnation of the forum this lead to many disputes and formed a division between people. Going on previous recommenedations we will NOT allow this. Please take up issues you have with a given member in private.
