Feel free to screen shot this ...

Here is a quote that I feel perfectly reflects the environment we are hoping to encourage on Pinside within our own set rules (i.e. no politics or religious discussions on Pinside, etc)

The University Of Chicago has informed incoming freshman that the university does not support the curtailing of the freedom of speech or expression.

"Members of our community are encouraged to speak, write, listen, challenge and learn, without fear of censorship. Civility and mutual respect are vital to all of us, and freedom of expression does not mean the freedom to harass or threaten others,” Jay Ellison wrote, according to the letter obtained by Intellectual Takeout. “You will find that we expect members of our community to be engaged in rigorous debate, discussion, and even disagreement. At times this may challenge you and even cause discomfort."

If our approach regarding discourse is not acceptable to you as a Pinside member, please open a moderator feedback thread and we'll be happy to discuss it with you.

Time for everyone to get back on topic.

Move the "discussions" to PM.

And in case anyone needs it to be crystal clear, continued off topic discussions will result in thread ejections.
