Announcement to all RN posters: As the election draws near, the rhetoric is ratcheting up, and tempers are flaring. We want to take this opportunity to remind all of you that the board rules DO still apply and WILL be enforced. We do (and will) try to enforce them even-handedly, but not heavy-handedly. We also recognize that, regardless of what action (or inaction) we take, someone will find fault with it. That’s too bad.

We will be removing posts which violate board rules as quickly as possible (to reduce the likelihood of escalation and thread derailment), and, when necessary, issuing warnings and suspensions. If you want to participate in discussions here, you need to respect the guidelines. Thanks.
