4. Debate is welcome but do not attack others. It’s acceptable to disagree and express your own opinions but please do so in a respectful manner.

5. Do not use the reader comments area to promote commercial ventures.

6. Ask yourself the following four questions before posting – Is it a positive remark? Will I be hurting anyone? Children can come to this site … is it appropriate for their eyes? Would I want my name on this forum?
