The purpose of this section is, I was under the impression, to air out concerns and issue that anger us but still conform to the TOS, particularly rules 2, 10 and 15. Inappropriate smites are inappropriate all over the site, including this section. I feel that no part of this set of forums is, or should be, exempt from the TOS.
The primary mission of this site is support and I think anything that works against that mission needs to be excised. Let's not forget this and keep it in mind before we click on the Post button. If you cannot render an argument for a point without resorting to personal attacks or other logical fallacies then it's best you remain silent since what you are going to say probably won't help the discussion and might very well harm the site mission. Try to put yourself into your readers' minds before you post and edit the sections that you find could cause offense.
Let go of your anger and use kindness. You can still be firm and support what you want to say. It may be very tempting to "put someone in their place" but that goes against everything this sit is created for.
Use constructive criticism, not attacks and when you see such criticism don't assume it is an attack. Too many people misinterpret a person's statement of opinion as a personal attack when it isn't one. Let's not take things too personally.
