Ladies and gentlemen.
As we all know, discussion on politics and religion and international affairs ALWAYS end up being kind, up-building and open minded. Right? RIGHT?
Oh, who are we kidding...
Listen, this forum has mostly been left alone in the encouragement of free speech, and for the most part people are being quite polite. We want to keep it that way. Left alone, I mean. A free exchange of ideas is beneficial to, well, someone. Society, probably..
Present your opposing viewpoints. God knows people change their views when presented with alternative facts on the internet.
See what I did there? It was sarcasm.
Please consider the general rules of TERB, helpfully stuck in an announcement way up there above all the threads about Trump this and Trudeau that. Please especially consider the bits about being polite to each other, about not attacking or flaming or being general idiots to each other - unless such attacking, flaming or general idiocy is obviously both given and received in good humour.
In short, calm the hell down. You're probably not going to convince each other as to your viewpoint. Banter, discuss, present your cases - awesome. It's what makes free speech so fun. But please top with the attacks.
Thank you,
TERB Moderating team.
