I will put this up though as many members seem to have forgotten our rules and we WILL begin enforcing them.

Although we encourage the free exchange of ideas we demand that disagreements and difference of opinions are done so in an adult and tactful manner. Sometimes we have to agree to disagree, that is fine but no Site, Business, Member or any other bashing or flaming is allowed.
