Rule 1:

"While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts. Our decision is final in these matters."

This includes any ad-hominem attack. Spirited debate is fine and actually encouraged.

"Our school is better" is fine.

"I think that idea is crazy" is fine.

"Your school sucks" is not very classy, but still fine.

"Your grammar sucks" is not very classy, but fine and sometimes funny.

"You suck," "loser," and "go to hell" are not.

This is starting to become something of a problem, and I wanted to get this out of the way no so people aren't suprised later, when threads get locked down and offenders warned.

Sorry everyone...I shouldn't have added the last little comment. The post struck me as very rude and in an inappropriate place and I replied on a whim. I'll exercise more self control next time.

Neither irony nor sarcasm is argument.

--Rufus Choate

However, heavy doses of sarcasm are the only way I can get through the day.

CRAP! There goes half my arguements.

Kidding. I get when others bash my school so I will refrain from bashing other people's schools in such a derogatory manor.
