I have set up this bulletin board to provide a place where persons on boths sides of an issue (mainstream vs alternative) can come to present their ideas, discuss them, and even argue over them. I feel everyone has a right to say what they have to say without being harassed or trolled. In order to provide that environment some simple guidelines must, unfortunately, be put in place.

Registration is required for one simple reason - to keep out the trolls and troublemakers. A valid return email address is required to enforce this policy. I personally apologize if this troubles anyone as I don't like the idea of registration either. I have never liked giving up personal information for something that's intended to be 'free'. But I hope you understand the need as anarchy should not reign.

Treat others with dignity and respect. Yes, differences of opinion can get heated and things will be said. But if you want to harass and torment, or make libelous and defamatory remarks, then go somewhere else.

Oh, and of course, the owner of this forum is not responsible for anything. Period.
