I usually only comment on threads started by others, but recent events have induced me to ask a general question.
What is the nature of a forum and what are the obligations and or responsibilities of the members toward each other?
Does disagreement constitute attack? If so, when does that become detrimental to the forum as a whole? Should a forum be used as a way to interact openly with like minded individuals or is it a familial setting where some things aren't discussed lest one member or another be insulted?
I guess that's more than one question but you get the idea.
