We don't intend to be a hardcase on the issue of censorship.  We encourage debate, and understand that it will sometimes become heated.  I do not want to lay down rules concerning what will be, and what will not be tolerated.  If I find something offensive, my inclination is to delete the thread rather than ban the individual.  However:  Gossip, and repeated rudeness, will not be tolerated.  In general this forum is open to any subject people wish to discuss.  Remember that this is primarily a military forum.  Any person, or persons, who try to "hijack" it for their own purposes will be banned.
