Gollum:
The all-inclusive "we" is the Xenite domain Administrators and their assistants whose job it is, among many tasks, to monitor constantly the message boards for off-topic and otherwise inappropriate posts. These are intelligent, respectful and dedicated people who spend a lot of volunteered time creating an environment where people can enjoy exchanging information, discussing challenging ideas and generally be without fear or distraction. You may want to check the terms of service, FAQs and other "rules" by which we ask visitors to abide. We certainly do not want to stifle creative or even heated discourse among our posters. However, we do demand that all are treated with respect. We agree that freedom of expression does not mean freedom to insult, humiliate, degrade or even be rude. The Internet is full of sites where incorrigibly nasty behavior is tolerated or even encouraged. Not here, not under any circumstance. We would ask that you honor our house rules, and additionally know that in doing so, you are most welcome.
