I just want to remind you of some basic rules of netiquette.
no foul language
no mean jokes about people
your message should have something substantial to say
no across-the-board bashing or insulting of people, be it UBF or ex-UBF
on the other hand, not general praise or general denial - be concrete, give examples
no ad-hominem attacks
no immoderate invectives, particularly not in UPPERCASE, and particularly not in the subject line
proper and concise message subject lines, no extensive use of upper caps, exclamation marks etc.
do not re-quote the complete message that you reply to
do not open new discussion threads unless really necessary. Use the "reply" feature instead
This is a moderated forum. Messages contravening the netiquette will be removed without comment by the board admins (though we are docile and this happened very seldom in the past). This applies to both pro-UBF or contra-UBF writers.
Clarification: Making jokes of the death of the former UBF leader is very inappropriate and not in line with the attitude of the vast majority of UBF critics. Most of us love UBF members, and wish the best even to the leaders. Most of us sincerely wished that these leaders repented and are looking for reconciliation based on truthfulness. Most of us also want to see UBF reformed rather than destroyed, and those who want to see UBF destroyed are refering to the UBF spiritual abusive system and not to the lives of people or leaders.
