[Husker] Leaving

[Skip Burrell]

A Sci-Fi discussion forum I read has a single rule "Don't be a 
butthead". Derived from that single rule is the corollary policy of "No 
Hitting". Arguments and disagreements are fine in any discussion. It's 
OK to say "your idea is stupid". It's NOT ok to say "you are an idiot." 
Anyone that breaks the no hitting policy, and doesn't attempt to modify 
their posting behavior is removed from the forum by the administrators.

It would be nice if more internet sites had similar policies...
