Rules and Obligations of Membership
Rule Five: Discussion and Tone
We expect that all who post messages will do so with an attitude of love and friendship. Heartfelt discussion is encouraged. Disagreement, debate, and bantering are welcome, so long as they remain respectful and friendly. Avoid contention, insults, and unkind criticism. Outside of a few clear, gospel-centered values, many viewpoints and opinions are represented here; so, you cannot expect or insist that everyone will automatically share yours.
Please be sensitive of the experiences, beliefs, feelings, needs, and struggles of others, and avoid cynicism, sarcasm, and imputing bad motives to others. Approach differences with kindness and humility, and allow each individual their own opinion and the privilege of following the dictates of his or her own conscience.
