"We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol..."

[Flying Squirrel]

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation. General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity. Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

(Good advice for any forum, no?)

1. Not too sure where it is that your link goes to. You might want to click on the link and take a look

Looks like a 'log-in' page to me.

2. Any of the articles

on that page, if you click on one, will have that paragraph at the bottom before the comments section.

3. Good advice indeed

I just posted on another thread. Felt it was necessary to mention I wasn't inciting violence, just using an old expression.

Ad hominem attacks suck anyway.
