Keep it civil 

We’re going to get into  discussions and that’s okay. These discussions often entail topics that we all personally care a lot about and will passionately defend. But in order for discussions to thrive here, we need to remember to criticize ideas, not people. 
 
 So, remember to avoid:

• name-calling

• ad hominem attacks

• Responding to a post’s tone instead of its actual content.

• knee-jerk contradiction

Comments that we find to be hateful, inflammatory, or harassing may be removed. If you don’t have something nice to say about another user, don't say it. Treat others the way you’d like to be treated.

Always strive to add value to every interaction and discussion you participate in

Before joining in a discussion, browse through some of the most recent and active discussions happening in the community, especially if you’re new there.
 
 If you are not sure your post adds to the conversation, think over what you want to say and try again later.

If you see something, say something
