Yup, the season must have begun because I am making a post to be civil to your fellow posters. Msweet and I have been lax on the name calling lately but I am getting kind of sick of opening up each thread and seeing it has degenerated into a hissy name calling fest. If you need to resort to name calling you have probably already lost the argument.

So without further warning we will be suspending anyone who decides to be uncivil towards their fellow posters. I don't care who started it, if you think its over the line report it. Let the admins deal with it. We started this place to get away from the NJO level theatrics and I can easily live without quite a few of you.

• "Do not do to others what would anger you if done to you by others." – Isocrates^[9]
• "What thou avoidest suffering thyself seek not to impose on others." – Epictetus^[10]
• "It is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely and well and justly (agreeing 'neither to harm nor be harmed'^[11]),
  and it is impossible to live wisely and well and justly without living a pleasant life." – Epicurus^[12]
• "One should never do wrong in return, nor mistreat any man, no matter how one has been mistreated by him." - Socrates (Crito, 49c)

We are committed to having a civil forum and will do what it takes to make that so.
