Ladies and Gentlemen, Brothers All,

May we please conduct ourselves with the decorum and intelligence due
brotherhood
and debate? If we are to voice our opinions. they can be cogent,
well-thought out, and
even controversial. However, sniping does little good. It does not
engender anything other
than bitter feelings.

So, when posting, ask yourself:

1. Is this how I would treat another brother were we face to face?

2. Is the comment constructive and fresh?

3. Does the point need to be restated or clarified?

4. Is the issue already beaten to death and requiring no new comment?

If the answers to the above questions bear out debate, then proceed with
the arguments. If not, let the issue die. It's not worth mine, or anyone
else's, email time and quota space.

Sincerely,

Richard D. Quodomine
Secretary, Epsilon Sigma Chapter
The opinions expressed above are my own
