A friendly reminder
The "NEPA negativity, revisited" thread seemed to bring out the worst in people, and in retrospect, there are some comments there I probably shouldn't have approved. So, I believe it's time for a refresher in what's not allowed.
1. Unfounded personal attacks
To borrow words from a Supreme Court justice, I can't define what a personal attack is, but I know one when I see one.
2. Rudeness or obscenity
If you can't post without a stream of words that would make a sailor blush, then don't do it.
3. Anything involving a person's personal life
We're here to discuss broadcast journalism, not what someone does on their own time. Go read one of the gossip columns in the local "alternative" newspapers, or head over to Talkback 16 to speculate about hair color.
4. Speculation about who posts here
Most posts here are anonymous for a good reason. Please respect a person's decision to be anonymous.
Let's keep it civil, OK?
