PnR Decorum and suspensions

[Bengalzona]

Most people who post in P&R are generally good posters, if sometimes irreverent. Irreverence is sort of the nature of our boards and of political and religious discussions in general. That is okay. What is not okay are personal insinuations about or personal attacks on other posters. That is the boundary that has been crossed too many times lately.

Examples: It is one thing to say that Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump is a scumbag, etc. You are expressing an opinion on a political figure. It is quite another thing to say that, for example only, StLucie or oncemoreintothejimbreech is a scumbag. That is not acceptable. This would include saying that StLucie or oncemoreintothejimbreech (once again, for example only) is a scumbag because he thinks Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump is a scumbag.

Note: This includes responses to other people who may have made a personal attack or insinuation on you. It is not acceptable to respond to them in like manner and you will face the same discipline as they do.

(Special thanks to StLucie and oncemoreintothejimbreech for the use of their usernames in the examples).
