- cup-of-tea 8y agoPlease explain. It's unclear which guideline this violates. There isn't a guideline prohibiting unfashionable views.
- sctb 8y ago> Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say face-to-face. Don't be snarky. Comments should get more civil and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive. What that means in this case is: don't make inflammatory claims without anything to back them up, don't be personally thorny, etc. Make sure your post has actual information that we can learn from, not just provocation.
- cup-of-tea 8y agoI would say this face to face. What's the inflammatory part?
- dang 8y agoFor starters, "Oh for crying out loud. Do I have to make it even more clear?" is plain uncivil.
