The rules of engagement for this site are simple:

1. I encourage you to comment and put forth an opinion on anything and everything we talk about. Make it good.

2. Any comment is open to criticism so make sure you think your comments through and edit them before you post them. Remember, once it goes up you can’t take it back.

3. Logical Fallacies will not be tolerated. Get to know them in the logical fallacies section. If you post a logical fallacy you will be called out on it either in the comments section or as the subject of a later post. I am also not immune to logical fallacies myself. If you catch me in the middle of one by all means point it out.

4. Anecdotes don’t count as scientific facts and should not be the basis of an argument on this page. This means you can’t come on here and say “I know a guy who did this or that” and make that the basis for your argument, because I can simply retort by saying “well I also know a guy who did the opposite of this or that”…anecdotes just get messy so lets leave them for other sites that don’t care about logic or facts.

5. Sarcasm is encouraged and will be used frequently and liberally.

6. Puns are encouraged and will also be used frequently and liberally.

7. Be respectful of each other.

8. Play fair.
