From the webmaster: Based on a report from a forum member, we have deleted a topic that violated our guidelines. Click here to read our Policies & Disclaimers.
We believe that the public forum gives everyone a chance to express their opinions on local issues. If citizens disagree, we expect them to disagree without being disagreeable.
Each registered member has agreed to keep his or her comments within the bounds of fair play. Controversial opinions are acceptable, but personal attacks on private individuals, name-calling and profanity are not welcome here.
We hope individuals will speak to issues and not engage in personal attacks or “bullying” of other members. If the latter occurs and a complaint is sent to webmaster@newszap.com, members may have their registrations immediately withdrawn and be asked to seek out a different website to express themselves. (In each case, please identify the forum, the topic and the time and date of the posting that you feel violate the guidelines.)
While this action might be considered drastic, we believe the step is necessary to preserve our “free speech with civility” mission.
