Let us respect our host. For those of us who were participants in the Red Snake community, let us not forget that it was the disrespect that was shown to NCSnake that finally brought down that house. (yes, there were other reasons, but I'd venture to bet that had the disrespect not been shown to NC, that board MIGHT still be alive and well) I shall again, as I did on Red Snake, ask that we NOT respond to flames, or flame bait. (And, Yes, I've been guilty of playing into this trap as much as anyone.) The current disagreement is no more than a red herring argument when taken in the context of the real issue of STD risk and transmission in its totality. I pray that this disagreement has not been laid before us to achieve the result that it has achieved, but given the continuation and escalation of the assaults, I fear that it may have been. TJ Hombre, this is your house. I know that you've been working long and hard on a FAQ and ethics list for this board. Further, I know that this type of thing is hard to craft, as it requires a very fine balance. But, I suggest that clear guidelines would be of benefit to the board and to the community. I certainly expect everyone here to abide by your rules, but it's a whole lot easier to do when we all know what the rules are that guide this board. This has NOTHING to do with your posting of your personal opinion. Rather, it is a restatement of my opinion based on the level of heat and fire that has been exhibited here in recent days. It matters not that we all agree with one another's opinions. (we won't always agree) It DOES matter that we all respect one another, and refrain from engaging in intentional discord or in escalating or continuing existing discord. Just MHO.
