Hi folks, hope you like the new forum - Chris's idea as you know.
This is a forum in which strong opinions are likely to be expressed, so can we all do that in a civil manner - no flames, personal attacks or hate speech please...

For one thing, I would much rather enjoy intellectual debates rather than undergo personal flame attacks. So far, it's been pretty good, though.

| Vivi, what do you think of a new rule on this forum banning xenophobia and homophobia. I think it will go a long way to preventing flame wars occurring in the first place. |

I don't have anyone in mind, Ascan, I just don't think it is acceptable considering we have homosexuals and ethnic minorities on WP as well. |

the TOS cover this forum as it does the others - dunc's original post was to emphasise that topics in this forum are more likely than usual to evoke strong feelings and philosophies, and thereby, more disagreement. hence the request.
the TOS are here:
http://www.wrongplanet.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=7785
as you can see, they cover racism (xenophobia, as you have defined it) and homophobia.

And the submissions in this thread serve irony well, all too well.

Rules are dangerous things to have; they're generally seen as a challenge. For example, how far can you stretch a WP rule before it's broken? I'm sure someone on the forum will have the answer to that by the end of the week.  |

| I think those rules were just aimed at people who have a religious belief, as they sure aren't enforced when those of faith are under attack everytime they post a thread. Those who don't have Spiritual beliefs can say anything they want |
