Your Host and Moderator
Roy Witt 1:10/22 roywitt@access1.net
This is a non-confrontational echo. If you choose to use this
echo, then please conduct yourself according to these rules. If
these rules do not suit you, then please feel free to take
advantage of other echoes or nets. Confrontational activity
constitutes grounds for punitive action.
Your use of this echo is by implied consent. IE: you are
implying that you consent to obey the rules by your use of this
echo.
1) Keep to the topic, our Right To Keep and Bear Arms.
If you want to bring something up that isn't OBVIOUSLY tied to
the topic -- then make it obvious.
E.G., if the discussion of the bombing in OKLA. comes up,
please make sure to tie it into RTKBA and not wander all over
the place with it.
2) Play nice. Let's leave the personalities out of the
discussions. If confused, see paragraph one above.
3) If you claim something as a fact, substantiate it with the
reference material. This applies especially to statistics --
they need to be verifiable, and/or direct quote citations.
Note that this area is for the free exchange of information
and ideas. It is not for attempting to impress the other
participants with your cleverness with the English language or
debate obfuscation technique.
4) Selective quoting for the sake of manipulating the discussion
is frowned upon. So, too, is quoting to excess. Quotes need
to be relevant and succinct.
5) Receiving several posts with valid, and substantiated,
counterpoints citing source material should either be answered
in kind or gracefully acknowledged.
Saying that you haven't seen them is a cop out. Neither the
moderator nor the other participants will buy that one for
long.
6) This area may not be used for any commercial or personal
enterprises for any reason, with the single exception of
raising funds for the protection of our second amendment
rights.
7) Illegal stuff: Keep it legal. If you're not sure -- apply
some common sense -- ASK FIRST!
DO NOT post anything on construction of any form of weapons in
this echo. At best, these are technical issues. At worst, such
posts may be illegal. Violation of this is cause for immediate
ejection from the echo.
If you are going to post copyrighted material, get permission
first.
8) Any discussion about the overthrow of the government will be
frowned upon. The moderator of this echo understands that
some reference may be made on this subject when discussing
Jeffersonian ideology.
Just do your best here...
Any complaints/suggestions about the rules, the moderation,
etc. should be sent to the moderator, Roy Witt (1:10/22.0),
via netmail or via email to; roywitt@access1.net
Discussion of the echo rules in the echo is off-topic.
Dredging up old problems will get you a vacation or a feed
cut free of charge!
