We refer users to our Guidelines and Netiquette section and urge you to consider how your conduct on the forums help or hinder these objectives.
 
 
 
 
The reality is that a guest in our "living room" has felt compelled to leave because of how they have been made to feel by other guests.
 
Many others guests have chosen to stop contributing to the forums citing the sustained actions of a small group of people.
 
So be aware of how your posts impact other people's feelings, the quality of discussion, and the inclusivity of the forums.
