Everyone needs to stop the personal attacks here against previous members of this board and or members of other boards.
It is against the protocol of any free message board service; including the one we use here; and for that matter of most ISPs to use the internet to harass others. In fact there was a recent court case in the US where a man was so humiliated and felt so attacked by members of some message board where he posted that he attempted to sue the posters who had bothered him.
Thats not why we have a no attack policy here though, the reason we have a no attack policy here is basic courtesy. This is a place for reasoned discussion on a very important moral and political and personal issue - not for personal attacks or insults; whether warranted or not.
If people have personal issues; deal with them via email or pm or phone or legal action in the outside world. This type of discussion and conversation does nothing for the cause; for the prisoners on death row, or the greater moral issue.

i think this is a great rule. Does this mean i won't get called 'scum' anymore?
What should we do if we are personally attacked?

LOL Kathy, that, i would not find offensive.
i must admit i admire tracy taking this stance. i know many pros come here and are offensive..... its fine they get banned. However, some antis have been very offensive too and it will be hard for Tracy to break their habit. Good for her for sticking to a civilised agenda.

When one has to become offensive and attack others, they really do lose all credibility.

Absolutely nothing positive comes from personal attacks.
In fact, that kind of vitriol winds up making us look no different than the rabid pros on another board we’ve surely all had the misfortune of tripping across.
I won’t buy into it… and I won’t even continue a discussion with anyone who tries it on me.
…contemplates grabbing Jay and janet’s hands and breaking into a rousing rendition of “We Are the World”… but really doesn’t wanna get her hiney kicked today… chuckle…
