If you cant think of anything here is a start. Explore the themes contained within Dark Side of the Moon. If you don't think you can behave, you should leave the forum now so I don't have to take the trouble of clicking on your name and banning you forever.Spinoza wrote: In fact with these rules, what can we talk about without being banned ?

i have to admit that i was hoping for the pointless waters/gilmour battle to stop, it is most irritating to witness the greatest collaboration between humans being turned into this sad situation, yet i can not agree with you Keith on banning people who will go for such battles, it is very relative what can be considered appropriate and what is not, i guess you made your point that what you really aim to is to stop gilmour bashing, as a true floyd fan i can't agree with you more and i would like to point that waters is being bashed too!
So i hope this is your only intention of the rules, i mean if you are going to ban everybody who criticises it will make you a real dictator, is that right Hitler?

I modified rule 2 to better put across what I mean.moreblues wrote:i have to admit that i was hoping for the pointless waters/gilmour battle to stop, it is most irritating to witness the greatest collaboration between humans being turned into this sad situation, yet i can not agree with you Keith on banning people who will go for such battles, it is very relative what can be considered appropriate and what is not, i guess you made your point that what you really aim to is to stop gilmour bashing, as a true floyd fan i can't agree with you more and i would like to point that waters is being bashed too!

2 - No Gilmour Vs Waters debates in threads that have the aim of putting one of them down for the sake of it. Basically, no bashing! I am more inspired by Waters and will say so on the board but will not put Gilmour down.
Banning people is a last resort and hopefully a Private Message will be sufficient in modifying behaviour.

I was so tired of Roger v Dave that I had almost decided to not post any thing,but let us remember the first rule of free speach(I may not agree with what you say but I will defend your right to say it).We can still talk about Roger V Dave without bashing either.I also like the new look of the place.

hey there, hitler,
Thanks for the energy and the thought that went into creating this list of rules. It is needed for a world wide forum. I took a break for a while because of the unpleasant attacks. Hard to even read those, let alone reply. I will do my part to refrain from my weakness - expletives.

new rules
I think that the rules are great. I am tired of the adversarial nature of many things in the world, especially posts on the web (not necessarily on this site as i am new)>
One can disagree without being nasty.
Take from me, I am a retired attorney (no comments please--that is why i retired, it is just messed up and too adverdarial and it's all a game of winning and losing.
The world is fueled by power and hegemony I am attempting to excise such from my life.
Thank you
Paul
