ALL -

The level of nastiness and negativity of the language and tone being used by some participants on this board in particular, but on the other active boards as well, has gone beyond civility on several occasions. For example, there's no need for participants to openly ask that others be banned.

Sadly, there are even moderators who have not participated here in a while due to this, and we need them here not only to help with moderating these boards, but also for their wise contributions to our discussions.

Good discussions can be carried out in a civilized manner and without worrying about "giving in" to, or "helping", those who come here to try their hand at Jewish Evangelism.

I urge everyone to consult the rules again in order to refresh your memory.

We are trying once again to improve the atmosphere here and remove the vitriolic language and tone. In order to achieve this, we will enforce the rules, including the newly instituted 1-week initial suspension, fairly, i.e., equally applied to Jew and Gentile. Should anyone feel that s/he cannot live by our guidelines, that person should consider this note as an invitation to leave our boards.

We would very much appreciate your cooperation so that our objectives can be achieved, and we thank you in advance.
