Let’s talk. This is a place for general conversation. We do have a few rules of the road.Â
Conversations That Matter is intended to be a welcoming place for thoughtful discussion. We do not expect everyone to agree, but we do expect everyone to treat one another with respect.
Play nice. Disagree with ideas without attacking people.
Treat everyone with dignity. Personal insults, harassment, and slurs based on race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or other personal characteristics will not be tolerated.
Leave partisan politics at the door. There are plenty of places online for political debate. This is not intended to be one of them.
No advertising or solicitation. Do not use the discussion groups primarily to sell products, services, causes, or yourself.
Respect privacy. Do not repost another member’s personal information or private comments elsewhere without permission.
Moderators may moderate. Moderators may edit or remove posts, move topics, close discussions, or remove members when necessary to protect the community.
The purpose of moderation is not to prevent disagreement. It is to keep disagreement from destroying the conversation.
