Determinations Regarding Flaming
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In keeping with FidoNet Echo Policies, the following is used as a
guideline to determine if "flaming" is being practiced:
__ If you accuse someone of being "biased", "bigoted", or
   otherwise dishonest in their study, YOU MUST give evidence of
   such or your accusations will be interpreted by the Moderator
   as slander without evidence (which is not permitted).
__ If you are accused of being "biased", "bigoted", or otherwise
   dishonest in your study, and evidence is provided by the
   accuser, YOU MUST face the challenge and prove otherwise. You
   are on your own in this. If this makes you uncomfortable, DO
   NOT POST YOUR GRIEVANCE IN THE ECHO, but rather answer the
   accusation as best you can with your evidences.
__ If both the above cases are followed through by the
   participants, the Moderator will not intervene. The readers
   are left to their own conclusions.
