Our Desire For Productive Political Debate
#1
https://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread390206/pg1

Here on DenyInorance.com will not tolerate new topics based on divisive and distracting innuendo, rumors, or lies.
 
We will not tolerate the posting of rhetoric and blame-game ideology that deflects attention from important discussion.

We will examine the merits of the issues. We will analyze the candidate platforms. We will seek the truth.

We will seek to make a difference.
 
If not us, then who? If not now, then when?
 
Those who enjoy concocting broad-stroke insults direct toward those not of their political persuasion may jerk their knee and call this a restriction of free expression... so be it.

But the overwhelming atmosphere of hate, insults, and over-the-top exaggerations is not desired here on DI. When we see an abundance of disparaging names and hateful condescension, the atmosphere is polluted and discussion turns away from the issues and toward each other. And that, my friends, is playing into the political game "THEY" want you to play.
 
Therefore:
From this moment forward, the following rules apply throughout all of Deny Ignorance:
 
[1] Politically inspired name calling of a person or an ideological group is not allowed: examples: "Libtards," "kamalalaa"," "Repuglicans," "Drumpf" etc.
 
[2] Alterations of a politicians name, or any other high-profile figure, for disparaging political effect are not allowed, including within member avatars and signatures.
 
[2a] Avatars designed exclusively to denigrate a politician or political figure, using derogatory wording or photo-manipulation, are not allowed.
 
[3] Posts that attack other members.
 
[4] Posts that stray from the discussion of the issue/topic and focus on the political affiliation of members are not allowed.
 
[5] All other politically-charged trolling and sniping intended, in the opinion of our staff and topic participants, to derail discussion away form the issues are not allowed.
 
In the event we encounter the above infractions, you risk the removal of your entire post or thread without warning or recourse.
You also risk a temporary POSTING BAN. For starters.
 
YOU are responsible for your words.
No one else. No one is forcing you to reply to others who may push your buttons. No one is forcing you to push the buttons of others.
Timor est magnus animus interfectorem!!!
