Back in my Chef days, I had a signature special that was Honey Almond Crusted Salmon with a Sweet and Sour Citrus Sauce. (I also liked to make my servers say it 3 times fast.) ---

> [@damuriajashi](#): > > (I was told in another ATMB thread that the rules were different in ATMB when there was an accusation of lying, I stand corrected). This needs some clarification. There is a specific rule against accusations of lying in GD and P&E. This rule does not apply to other forums. In every forum except the Pit though, personal attacks are not allowed. Saying “you are a liar” is a personal attack. This is what I meant when I said calling someone a liar is not permitted. There are other ways of making accusations of lying that don’t fall under the rule of personal attacks. Those would still be forbidden in GD/P&E but would be acceptable in other forums, including ATMB. In retrospect, I should have worded that more carefully. > [@damuriajashi](#): > > I will engage in ATMB as if it were great debates. If you want to debate, post in GD. People posting in ATMB are there to resolve issues, so there are different rules and different expectations. Formal debate rules are definitely not a requirement in ATMB. Debate just for debate’s sake is also not what ATMB is for. The purpose of ATMB is to discuss and resolve issues. ---

Issues about the message board though, not issue of affirmative action in select schools, racism in the greater culture, right? Seems like there are several posters confused about that and just move over here to continue the snit when they get modded out of other threads. I read this thread to learn how to be a better poster, not to continue diatribes redux ad nauseum. ---
