Hello Again,

I just wanted to follow up on this topic and make an announcement.

We recently made an ammendment to the rules of the water cooler and hundred year war due to problems arising from personal attacks stemming from certain topics.

I have removed the ban on such topics (religon) and this is something we can discuss here again. While the other solution was effective and served its purpose it was not the correct solution. I do not want to inhibit any civil discussions between adults.

The solution I have arrived at is a simple one. Follow the rules or lose your posting privledges (banishment). So feel free to discuss whatever you want, but be warned those who choose to attack another personally in these forums will be banned immediately. No warnings.

I really wish it did not come down to this but it does. If you cannot play nice while in here you will not be able to play at all.

Thank you.

Wise choice? Yes. It gives us the freedom to discuss freely, without fear of accidentally crossing the line, unless we deliberately do so... Let's just hope that the actions of the few will not screw the many again...

Resonable people can discuss any topic in a civil manner.
