To be plain, here's what we expect.

Make your point and let others make theirs.
Give their views as much respect as you'd like for yours.
Don't put us in a bad legal position.
Take your soapbox to your own website.
When a Moderator intervenes, its usually for a good reason.
Keep it civil, and remember its only typing...

Rule7 likes debate, sometimes heated debate brings out the best arguments, but this is an LRP/LARP focussed site. We want to maintain that focus and keep the place friendly for lots of hobbygoers. So there's no need to deliberately push for a reaction and court controversy. It just makes people tired of talking to you. You gain no points by being the last person to post, or using the most words.
