Being friendly does not cost extra here in the Radio Room

Just a topical post, remember when expressing your opinions to try and avoid coming across as rude.

This forum is intended to be a place for civil discussion. Sometimes we all get into heated discussions, but let's try to remember to frame our comments as if the guy was in the same room. I, like many others, have strong opinions, we don't have to agree on everything but we do have to co-exist.

People who are rude and snotty, and who troll on a routine basis, will not be here long.

cheers!
Neal

Thank you Neal.

It needed to be said, but should not have been needed to be said.

ad hominem attacks are not only rude, but demonstrate a lack of logical thought on the part of the "attacker".

If a person really needs to attack the person as part of their discussion, they have already lost the argument.

Thanks for the reminder to be civil.

Couldn't agree more. Just a tip from myself: When making a joke etc. use smilies to make sure that it's understood

What has happened? There's been an argument with plenty of vitriol and I wasn't involved? Wtf!?
