Busters-

 

The snark level has increased beyond what is acceptable. This is a general warning that Rex, myself and other Mods are not going to let ad hominem attacks, insults and mocking/badgering to continue unchecked. Anything you post that insults, mocks or attacks another poster, you will be hearing from a Mod, and the thread will be closed. If it becomes a pattern, further action may be taken, including suspensions.

 

So, with that out of the way... can we please just play a little nicer in here?

 

Thanks,

CLARIFICATION OF POLICY - PLEASE READ...

 

When the admin staff here at SoxTalk refers to "personal attacks", that doesn't just mean individual posters. It also means ANY individual at all, including, for example, the President of the United States. And, it includes disparaging references to people's race, gender, religion or sexuality.

 

So... feel free to criticize, analyze and tear apart the policies, actions, behaviors, words and politics of anyone you'd like. But be careful, and never say anything violent, threatening, or offensive towards anyone else, even if they are voluntarily in the spotlight.

 

Some examples...

 

It is OK to say things like...

 

"Dubya is acting like an ass"

or

"Kerry can just shut the hell up"

or

"Cheney isn't much of a shot, is he?"

or

"Nancy Pelosi's voice is like nails on a chalk board"

 

On the other hand, it is NOT OK to say...

 

"(insert politician's name here) is a no-good SOB. He's so full of s--- his eyes are leaking feces."

or

"(insert poster's name here), you are full of s---, and your posts reflect that. STFU."

or

"(insert politician's name here) is a pussy (or whoo whoo or other inappropriate anatomical reference)."

 

(These, by the way, were paraphrased from posts deleted or removed from this forum at some point)

 

Hopefully that makes things a little more clear. If it doesn't, please feel free to speak with Rex, myself, or any other moderator or admin for further information.

 

Thank you for your support.
