Ok, here's the deal, I don't want to be over here every day deleting replies and breaking up fights. The current climate here is very aggressive from all sides. I don't want to ban political discussion or kick people off who have been here and enjoying a good discussion, but I am implementing two major rules and I will attempt to enforce them and be over here a lot at first, but hopefully the rough edges of these threads will get smoothed out and it'll result in a more enjoyable and well-reasoned discourse for all.
Rule 1: No Personal Attacks or Ridiculous Name-Calling
Rule 1: No Personal Attacks or Ridiculous Name-Calling
I don't just mean for your fellow poster either. I mean for anyone; celebrity, political figure, opposing coach, whatever.
Example: You can call a certain former IU coach an abusive person because it has been documented. However, you can't call him a fat, old, p.o.s..
Rule 2: Stay on TopicI can't have every thread in here devolving in a political argument when the original topic is something like: "Puppies are Cute".
Everybody got it? Great. I love and respect you all, please be civil.
