As co-moderator, I would like to make the following statement: First of all, please understand that there are few folks in the world that are more against censorship than I so I am very opposed to stopping free discussion an any topic.
However, you will also find very few folks out there that are more demanding of integrity, responsibility, accountability for your words and actions, and compassion for others. So, it is with these values that I ask that we can all have safe, fair, honest, and considerate open discussion on these topics. And that means that we do not insult each other, engage in any flaming of any kind, put down the opinions of each other, etc. The forum is intended to allow for the exchange of ideas and information on liveaboard topics. Make sure your posts are boating oriented and respectful to others. I would rather unsubscribe individuals that can't behave nicely than censor or limit discussion that could be useful or informative to the members of our list. Thanks, Sam p.s. I learned this from George of Scaramouche and it has served me well over the years. Hal Craft wrote: > I agree with Lee.
