  • Judicial rulings


If you have to ask yourself if your post is political in nature, it probably is

Note: comments like “Congress voted today to allow pilots to fly without a medical” is not a violation of this policy, however, “Those morons in Washington once again failed to pass PBR2” would be.

Further, political statements and proclamations, not matter how vague, are not allowed in a member's signature lines. If you currently have such a signature line, please change it to something non-political or it will be removed

Hate speech, Name Calling, Racial Slurs, and Personal Attacks will not be tolerated and could lead to permanently being banned from the site.

Discussion of religion and religious topics should also be avoided with exception of expressions of sympathy such as, “we are praying for you”.
