Folks, please be nice to each other. Really. Most of the conflict and unpleasantness I come across in various threads always seems so unnecessary and in some cases it is so distressing that it causes people to leave ASF permanently.


If you disagree with someone please don't attack or insult them, but present your argument or alternative view in a polite and respectful way. This leads to constructive discussion and debate, while aggression and personal attacks lead to nothing but off topic posts, derailed threads and acrimony.


In the past we have lost some good members who contributed a lot of valuable content over this very issue, so please think very carefully before you post. If you feel angry and want to take a potshot at someone, have a break and go and do something relaxing for a while. The impulse to post a personal attack or insult is usually very fleeting and dissipates quickly.


I don't want to lose any more members because of this, nor do I want newcomers to be scared off when they are mocked for asking silly questions. Just please be nice to each other. It doesn't cost anything and makes ASF a much more pleasant place to visit. :)
