Old I/P guidelines (for reference)

31. Hi, good to see you, my friend

And those who think I'm being biased - I consider those who have stuck it out a friend.

I am glad you are well. I must assume you are no longer in Uni, but have moved into one of life's other phases. I think you served several terms as a moderator for DU3. I purposefully avoided it as I was a mod for 10+ years on the original DU and DU2 and needed the retirement. A podcast about a Westie sounds extremely fun - if you want, send me the name in DM, I will add it to my podcast list. I wish you luck to to have an engaging audience and maybe earn enough coin to give some wonderful treats to your baby.

DU - I would think even now the same rules are still applicable. The rules have always been governed by the idea both sides have huge issues which people have created deliberate blinders towards. The desire was to keep the field clear and keep out the bias and force people. to talk "raw" and without trying to browbeat others down. People consistently come in thinking one side is somehow morally clean as the other side did something so outrageous. Too many logical fallacies. When times like these happen, emotions are running hard - but this is a forum for discussion - people have to take the pause and engage appropriately

Both Hamas, Hezbollah, and Netanyahu's Israel have gone towards increasing extremes. I do not think the actual population has (for various reasons). I am crying at this moment because of how many innocent people are going to have to pay with their lives.
