Moderating : Both Politics & Elections and Great Debates have been operating under rules you might not be aware of since early 2020. New Rules for Politics and Elections – January 2020
Some highlights:
Treat all the posters, even ones with whom you disagree, with respect. If you must be disrespectful or insulting, please visit the BBQ Pit and do so there.
Posters stating things you don’t like are not necessarily trolling.
Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts*.” - Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Posters in Great Debates and Politics and Elections should take this statement to heart. Be aware of your own opinions and how they shape your thinking. Do not confuse your opinions with facts.
Hijacks. This is, perhaps, the single largest and most important change to the rules in Great Debates and Politics and Elections made in 2020. Staying on topic is a strong goal of Great Debates and Politics and Elections moving forward.
Keep threads specific and debatable. No wide omnibus threads.
All that quoted, jumping off to Perdue is going off-topic. A lot of your last post is pushing off-topic. I will hide the post in fact to avoid a larger hijack.
