I love logging into the forum to participate in intelligent and thoughtful discussions. Each member's opinion is valued here and everyone is respected and I always look forward to reading your thoughts and viewpoints!

In this post, I'm sharing some guidelines that can help us have more fruitful discussions in today's cyber world (They have been adapted somewhat from popular netiquette rules on the web). I hope you appreciate them!

When posting, remember that your message will be sent to (literally) thousands of people all over the world. They all have likes and dislikes as individual as your own. They will also be offended by certain things which you may not find remarkable. While you can't foresee every potential area of conflict, there are certain guidelines that are fairly obvious: avoid swearing, cultural insults, blasphemy, proselytizing, and things of that nature. If you wouldn't say it out loud in front of your grandmother while in a place of worship, then you probably shouldn't say it on the forum either. 😆


At the same time, recognize that you are receiving messages from (literally) thousands of people all over the world. They all have likes and dislikes as individual as your own. Above all, remember that other people are about as likely to change their basic natures and habits as you are to change yours. They will also not find remarkable certain things by which you may be offended. Odds are that they probably didn't set out to offend you on purpose, so try taking a deep breath and counting to a nice high number if you feel a rising sense of offense. If, after this calming break, you still feel you must say something, PM the poster directly to explain your feelings calmly, reasonably, and above all clearly without attacking them.


I hope this didn't come off as a Jodha-style bhaashan! 😆 I do love interacting with each one of you and I value your opinions.


Well, that's it for me - I'm off to bed. Good night! (Or good morning 😆)

Of course there are far more important things to worry about than a serial! And yes, I am chilling and enjoying 😆

I just thought this information could be of some use to members so we can concentrate on the things that really matter such as fun, thoughtful discussions!

AGREE AGREE AGREE !! Absolutely needed word of sense. 👏

After all just skipping the threads which you don't agree with, is so simple. We just have to accept the fact that there IS going to be difference of opinions with so many people around.
