Mod Post: Be Excellent To Each Other

I spent some time last night cleaning up some fairly abusive and
personal attacky posts from the last few weeks.

If someone posts a question or comment you think is stupid then either
don't answer them or use your downvote - there's absolutely no reason
to call people names or make personal attacks.

We're all adults here. I appreciate some sarcasm mixed in with
responses but it becomes detrimental to our already small community
once it escalates into these mini flame wars. If the only reply you
can come up with is to call someone a name and tell them where they
can go - perhaps you should consider taking a deep breath and clicking
that cancel button.

Most importantly, if you see someone being a jerk please don't feed
the troll. Report the post(s) and the mods will review them - we're
setting up notifications so these can be handled quicker in the
future.

Repeat offenders may be temp or perm banned.

Tl;dr:

Please practice [Good
Reddiquette](https://www.reddit.com/wiki/reddiquette) and in short,
please be excellent to each other.

why is there no reason to call people names or make personal attacks?
if someone gives it, why not give it back. downvote button is for
bitches.

[edit]
you got trolled!

btw, i'm not abusive on my own bbs. i'm only abusive on public forums.

Because this is a public forum and not your personal BBS. If you want
to be abusive on your own BBS that's fine; but not here. This is a
place for people talk about BBSing and that's more fun when people
aren't being threatened or verbally attacked for their opinions.

There was more than one party involved in the posts that were
moderated the other night, this isn't being directed towards any one
person in particular.
