Rule Number 5

[Dynomite]

I am not so sure what is meant by the phrase rather than disagreeing with their post in the context presented. I guess what I am saying is that I do not know any reason one has to suggest a disagreement. Just tell us your own thinking and let the reader decide if in fact your opinion is different or in any disagreement without you pointing out negatively the others point of view. Maybe my variant below is too lengthy but the Rule#5 is important enough to describe in more detail me thinks.

Current Rule Number 5.
5. Racial or offensive language/jokes, as well as defamatory, obscene, vulgar, hateful, or threatening statements are prohibited. Posts may not attack other members, rather than disagreeing with their post, and includes the use of or implying derogatory meanings or inference to disparage others. We are comprised of diverse backgrounds and everyone should feel at home here.

A different variant of Rule Number 5 for consideration.
5. Racial or other offensive language/jokes, defamatory, obscene, vulgar, hateful, or threatening statements are prohibited. This includes posting insinuating references to others in a negative way. Language in posts may not be negative in a disparaging way toward others and includes the use of or implying derogatory meanings or inference to disparage others. Post language that expresses different opinions without assessing the opinions of others in a negative way are welcome. We are comprised of diverse backgrounds, expertise, and experiences. Everyone should feel at home and at ease in posting different opinions. This includes different ways of accomplishing technical tasks or the selection of different components for the same tasks in this forum General/Technical ZR-1 Sections. In that regard, just tell us how you would accomplish the maintenance, repair, modification yourself.

As an aside......I know I get into trouble with too much detail in posts and my only defense is that I am always writing for the New guy on the block that may not know what a Plenum is or what TDC means
Oh...and I use too many smilies.......but that is just me
And Highlighting as I do kind of took off with others seeing that benefit in communicating technical information

Also....just a potential edit of rule#13

I think you mean for any reason cited in Rules 1 through 12.
