I have read your rules, and I agree to comply with them as a condition to my posting to your message boards; however, your statement, "Trolling, criticising and bad mouthing is not allowed," leaves me confused. I understand about trolling and "bad mouthing," they are not the problem. My problem revolves around the word: criticizing.

Would I be correct to assume that by criticizing, you mean being critical of another nick's personality, or personal choices, or anything that would be superfluous to the immediate topic at hand; you know, things that aren't relevant to the discussion?

I won't BS you on this point, the RO can go radically rabid on a variety of unrelated and totally meaningless topics in the blink of an eye, but he never takes it to a personal level unless he is attacked first; and he takes it personally when his pertinent posts are deleted, while his opponents are left intact.

Bottom line: I have no problem with rules, as long as they apply equally to every nick who posts to this message board; but if some nicks are more equal than others, then I'm just a fading memory; know what I mean?

RO:

In the welcome note on the site i have started off by saying "This site is dedicated to all those who have the courage to express what they feel and follow their own path come what may."

Thus this board was formed with a purpose of healthy discussion with like-minded people and you would agree that the discussions are indeed to the point and fair till now. Though i would really not hesitate to ban a member for upsetting the decorum.

Now let us come to the word 'criticizing'. Though you have appropriately summed up the meaning yourself, i would only say that we are not here to play any blame game. Rather as sensible adults, we should be tolerant of others views and feelings even if we do not agree with them. So the bottomline is the any member can disapprove of other member's remarks with a reason but should not condemn the other member personally. I hope you understand the difference.

Last but not the least, the rules apply to every GutFeel member equally. Rest assured in this regard.

So let your creative juices flow and enjoy the discussions.

A quick question here, If I criticize any member for his/her opinion will that be anything against rules of this forum?

Matt:

We are not here to criticize each other personally. However, during a discussion you may not always agree with other people's viewpoint. The right way is to put your point across with a reason, stick to the point and do not pass judgement on the other member.
