Getting everyone on the same page

Just so we all understand forum etiquette...

"*Yawn*" is picking a fight.

Accusing an organization of intentionally ignoring a member's accomplishment, despite the fact that the member has not attended either of the two events held since the accomplishment, and his award is in the possession of the organization's president, who is his friend and lives in the same general area, is NOT.

Calling someone a "lying, backstabbing, worthless piece of s#$&!" is simply telling the "truth" and is NOT a personal attack in violation of forum guidelines.

Saying "my recollection of the events is different" is part of a conspiracy to cover up the aforementioned lying and backstabbing, and IS a personal attack.

Being specifically excluded from membership and "not being sponsored [for membership]" are NOT the same thing!

Repeatedly pleading for a face-to-face meeting where parties can air their differences and work toward a compromise indicates that one thinks he "owns" the forum.

Excluding anyone who MIGHT disagree is NOT an attempt to limit dissension!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Using one forum to promote an alternative forum is perfectly acceptable, even if certain members of the first forum will NOT be allowed access to the alternative forum.

Geocgraphic boundaries are hard and fast, even if they are arbitrary, unless someone who disagrees lives inside those boundaries, then they are excluded, er, I mean, "not sponsored."

Having "no officers, no bylaws, and no formal voting" means there are no rules and no one is in charge. No one makes any decisions, and no one has any authority over anyone else, even who gets in and who doesn't.

And all of this over a game...a game involving Tupperware!
