In an attempt to curb the downward spiral of this forum, I am implementing the following policy change:
1) Posting personal attacks and/or flames (publically).
a. First offense: Banned from posting for one week.
b. Second offense: Banned completely for one week.
c. Third offense: Banned permanently.
Generally, a personal attack is committed when a person substitutes abusive remarks for evidence when examining another person's claims or comments. It is considered a personal attack when a person starts referencing a supposed flaw or weakness in an individual's personality, beliefs, lifestyle, convictions or principles, and uses it as a debate tactic or as a means of avoiding discussion of the relevance or truthfulness the person's statement. It works on the reasoning that, by discrediting the source of a logical argument, namely the person making it, the argument itself can be weakened.
Flaming is the act of sending or posting messages that are deliberately hostile and insulting, usually in the social context of a discussion board on the Internet. Such messages are called flames, and are sometimes posted in response to flamebait. Flamers usually call their flames justified personal attacks...............

Also, if you receive threatening or harassing messages via private message (or "bmail"), use the "Report to admin" link on the message in question so that I will be able to view the content. Thank you. (Steve)"
