The basic rule here is to discuss the issue and not the poster. You can tell when you are probably violating this rule when you start to use the phrase "You are ________." Once you start to say "you are", you have generally begun to start talking about a POSTER and not that poster's STATEMENT or OPINION. Criticize and thwart the opposing person's STATEMENT or OPINION, if you wish, not the poster him or herself.

These rules are created to maintain an atmosphere of discussion, as opposed to an atmosphere of distracting and annoying personal attacks. Happy posting!!
