TQ&A is what YOU make it.

Tough Questions & Answers Mantra Argument is to me the air I breathe. Given any proposition, I cannot help believing the other side and defending it. -- Gertrude Stein

CLICK HERE in the meantime if you want to argue, but to do it with vim, vigor, gusto and a few choice words!

Here in TQ&A we have some ground rules.

Please don’t bring animosity from other groups. Each person here is judged by their behavior here, period.

1) Postings and replies MUST follow the EONS TOU: Eons TOU

2) All discussions are welcome, heated or not.

3) We WILL NOT ridicule each other’s posts.

4) We WILL talk about most anything we want. If you don’t like it, just leave it alone.

5) Remember these two words whenever you feel yourself losing control. Walk Away.

6) Have fun!

7) And if you find yourself growing tired of any subject that you see here, you can certainly find the door. You don’t have to stay, read and get frustrated or insulted. Just like with TV, you can CHANGE THE CHANNEL.

Thanks – the management.

Thank you, thank you, Thank You! It is so refreshing to find a place where we are truly safe to state our opinions without worry of getting our hands slapped. I love argument - I love that we have more than one political party... even though I tend to lean heavily toward one particular party, it would be dangerous if there were no opposition. I have a great deal of respect for you, veggiebubble... thank you for all that you do here.

The rules are fine by me. I love a good discussion. I'm always open to another point of view.

Aw Veggie, you don't know what the bleep you're talking about. You whiny wimp! Trying to make people get along - screw you! TOU? That's just lame. A convenient excuse to dump on people for any reason. "You violated TOU - you're gone!" NyaNyaNya Humbug.

If you look around... you'll see that rule number 3 has fallen by the wayside.

Since grown up adults can't follow the rule... I'm calling it obsolete.

Thanks -- The Management

I will plead guilty. I have been known to make a snarky post, or two or three, when I perceive that others are doing something completely and utterly stupid. Yes, I know, my perception is my own damned problem. Because of this I am also amenable to having my snarky posts deleted and to having my hands publicly smacked for being a bad citizen of Eons.

I have noticed, while we're being completely honest, that some of the folks who spend the most time bringing snarky posts to everyone's attention are some of the snarkiest of posters. They somehow seem to be completely devoid of the ability to recognize their own snarkiness, only that of people who they determine to be snarky.

I will now go forth and do proper penance for my sins. How does forty lashes with a wet rope sound?
