Anyone smart and wise enough to come to the Gulch is worthy of a certain degree of respect, even if he/she doesn't agree on everything with all other Atlantis citizenry. It is expected that people will politely disagree, and such disagreement should be encouraged. However, the insults should be saved for looters and moochers; the insults aren't very convincing when it comes to other people who think for themselves. Anyone in this forum must come to their own conclusions for themselves.. I am not going to police this site in that way. There certainly are enough people who keep the discussions reasonable that I don't have to be the moderator.
