Hello All!

I havent really taken the time to write up a set of rules yet, I have been
waiting and watching to see how things iron out...

We will start with 4 and build from there:

[1]

While some flaming is allowed, due to the volatility of the echoes subject
matter, outright cussing out will not be permitted.

[2]

Religious debate is the subject matter, attacking religion is one thing,
attacking a posters religion in a direct manner as to offend or agitate the
poster is not allowed.

[3]

Individuals whom have been banned from the echo, for any length of time, up
to indefinately, are not to become topics for discussion in this echo, if
they cannot defend themselves, you cannot attack them.

[4]

Moderator messages are not open for debate, they are non-negiotable.

[Note]

As regarding my co-moderator..

I had my reasons for choosing him

* He has been a long standing user in this echo.

* While I do not hold myself to be a religious person, I am still on the side
  of the topic with those whom are, Dan Ceppa is therefore on the opposite
side of the issue from me. I chose him for the same reasons I chose Alan
Hess in
  another echo I moderate.. (Granted Alan is gone)

As to him using a expletive in a message he wrote in the capacity of
co-moderator, I have already addressed that issue with him privately.
