We want our members to speak freely, but without offending any party. It's all about ideas, which everyone agrees are better addressed with the respect of all parties. Offensive comments, usually bring offensive replies and that it's something we can't tolerate. Of course the biggest mistake would be to let anyone post anonimously. Now you know that there are some fellows out there that will take advantage of your kindness and put you in a difficult situation with the law.
