Don't assume the motives of someone you are in a discussion with. Hey great idea! First rule is totally true. Keep it going! The forums are great, but many of us need help on keeping certain discussions civilized and trying to keep personal emotions on check. - T - _____________________

4. If you start looking the debate do not insult, belittle or start false rumors about those who are winning the debate.
5. Do not use your friends to gang up on someone trying to make point. Just because it may interfer with your agenda/ and or sales. 6. remember no one has any real power in SL except the Lindens  Cat _____________________

All great ideas -- here's another to keep it going!
7. If you are offended by something, be mindful of the opposition and others engaged in the discussion -- the temptation of ignorance is it's simple and self-indulgent nature. _____________________

browse elsewhere for half-an-hour before posting a reply It's a well known fact that people can be mean and just post flagrant replies, so a posting such as this seems to be rather obvious and counter-productive to this thread. So I have to ask, are you trying to be constructive? _____________________

11. Try not to annoy Nolan.
12. When disagreeing with someone's position do them the courtesy of showing you understand what their position is. _____________________

14. Remember that respondents (other readers) of the forums are neither your psychiatrists, patsies nor personal abuse toys. They have the right to respond, ignore or agree with anything you say - hopefully in an intelligent fashion - but that is not a requirement, even for cicvil discussion.
