Community Rules

Differences of opinion make for great discussion, but please do not abuse other users through name calling or ad hominem attacks. No one on this platform has all the answers. Spitefulness, name calling, ad hominem attacks will be dealt with swiftly by a permanant ban from this community. When arguing a point stick to the point and its merits!

Do not post dehumanizing material. This means content that is racist, rude or obscene will be removed, and offenders will also be removed without warning! Please help the community by flagging such content.

Please use common sense. Do not violate anyone's privacy by posting identifying information or encouraging anyone else to do so. Do not encourage violence or criminal activity.

Please stay on topic. Posts that criticize moderation or distract from the article's topic by introducing unrelated hot-button topics may be removed, and offenders will also be removed from the website.

Please be thoughtful. Comments that negatively characterize broad groups of people may be removed. Such assertions, which may feel satisfying to write, are unlikely to change anyone's mind and make it significantly more difficult to have a productive discussion.

Ask: Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind?

Please report violations. Site owners reserve the right to remove both content and users with no warning!

Thanks for participating in discussions on this site!
