When the CardBoard was much smaller, most of us had met at least once, and as a result, was very civil. We were able to treat one another with dignity despite our different ages, genders, ethnic backgrounds, and political beliefs.
Lately, however, several threads have become well, very un-CardBoardlike. Some threads were even started with the deliberate intention of inciting others. I would like to draw everyone's attention to the [url=http://"http://thecardboard.org/board/index.php?topic=10890.msg102252#msg102252"]board rules[/url]. Specifically, I want to focus on rule no 2, "attack ideas, not people." Going forward, I'm going to take a very hard line on ad hominem attacks. Those posts will be deleted, and the poster will be given a warning. Subsequent violations will result in temporary and even permanent bans, which none of us want.
In the meantime, I'm going to suggest but not require that those who have posted incendiary messages take a BYE from the CardBoard. Don't post; don't read.
I will take several days to draft a new set up guidelines, and will post them shortly.
