To all,
Let me try and explain this one last time (Please pay close attention to this so I don't have to repeat myself for the millionth time).
What I will state below applies to this Discussion forum (Not to the message board).
Deletion Policy:
The are TWO reasons why postings are and will be deleted from this forum:
A- The first reason is, of-course, the use of bad language. Bad language includes profanity as well as defaming certain people (In legal terms it is referred to as Libel). Even in the USA (Supposedly the haven of free speaking) defaming people is not permitted.
B- The second reason for deletion is when the person posting does not live up to the level of discussion required for this forum.
This Forum is not a football field and hence we will not allow cheerleading chants.
This forum is not a public demonstration and hence we shall not allow empty (nor full) slogans.
The word discussion does not mean using this forum to send messages to your Mom, Dad, any family member or friend nor to your enemies. For that there are a couple of other inventions: one is called a message board and the other is called e-mail.
What we present in our postings are topics not people. Please stick to this.
If anyone, and I mean anyone, does not have the mental capacity to abide by these simple and straightforward rules then they can leave this forum (They are more than welcome to the message board).
Ladies and gentlemen, Please try to understand what we are trying to achieve out of this forum:
Open, decent and DEEP discussions that would benefit all of us (Whether you like Antun Saada or not, whether you like Syria or not ...)
What good does it do any of us if we only use this forum to call names and indulge in SHALLOW, useless and aimless dialogues?
I thank you once more for your understanding.
Enjoy the debates...
Regards
Fadi
