   POLITICS is for the discussion and debate of topical political discussions,   
   primarily involving an American point of view.  Due to the nature of these   
   discussions, emotions can and will run high.  The following policies are in   
   place to keep the peace in here as best as possible.  Your participating in   
   this echo implies implicit agreement to abiding by these policies.   
      
   # Real names are required to be used in this echo.  No aliases.  If   
     your BBS software will not allow you to toggle between real name and   
     alias in the message header, sign your message with your real name.   
      
   # There is no such thing as "free speech" in this echo.  You can speak your   
     mind within reason but the moderator reserves the right to stop and   
     immediately correct boorish behavior.  We're all adults; let's act like   
     it.   
      
   # Please do not discuss illegal topics in this echo.   
      
   # Agree to disagree.  "Discretion is the better part of valor" -- William   
     Shakespeare   
      
   # Resist logical fallacies.  Don't know what a logical fallacy is?  The   
     website logicalfallicies.info is a great place to check.  We all fall   
     victim to logical fallacies but don't fall for them all the time.   
      
   # PUSU ("put up or shut up"; basically show proof of the facts you're using   
     to backup your argument) is in force here.  However, in this day and age   
     of the Internet and the World Wide Web, fact-checking can be done at any   
     time by anyone.   
      
   # You can discuss religion in here but no proselytizing (see the next   
     policy).   
      
   # No personal attacks against one's person, their family, or their beliefs.   
     This goes with the policy above.   
      
   # Keep your temper in check.   
      
   # Please keep the swearing to a minumum.  It can lead to tempers which are   
     not kept in check.  The moderator reserves the right to stop and immediately   
     correct those who make this a habit.  We're all adults; let's act like it.   
      
   # Have a sense of humor.  It's amazing how a little humor will go a long   
     way.   
      
   # Posting of news/political articles in the echo are allowed provided that   
     the source is properly credited and the text is corrected to pure ASCII   
     (no high ASCII nor gobblygook caused by weird codepages in use by   
     Microsoft products).  Conversion to CP437 is appreciated.   
      
   # All messages must be in English.  You may post a message in your native   
     language as long as an English translation accompanies the native   
     post in the same message.   
      
   # No blatently off-topic posts, such as BBS ads, "test" messages, network   
     politics, et cetera.   
      
   # Please don't gate this echo to USENET, a mailing list, another BBS   
     mail network, an online Fidonet mail archive, or anything else   
     without the moderator's express and written permission.   
      
   # This echo does not recognize any local or regional echomail policies   
     such as EP1.  This echo originates in Zone 1 and follows Zone 1 policies   
     concerning the "echolist".   
      
   # The moderator is the sole person authorized to correct off-topic behavior   
     publically in the echo.  You are encouraged to contact the moderator via   
     netmail (preferred) or email privately first.   
      
   # Any moderator action is OFF-TOPIC for public discussion in the echo.  If   
     you have a problem with a moderator action, please contact him privately.   
     IF YOU ARE CONTACTED VIA NETMAIL BY THE MODERATOR, *DO NOT* RESPOND BACK   
     PUBLICLY.  IF YOU CANNOT FOLLOW THIS RULE, please do not participate here.   
      
   # The moderator wishes to do as little moderation as possible in here so   
     please behave yourself and act accordingly.   
      
   # This is a living document and is subject to change when need be.   
      
   # This document will be posted near the 1st of each month and   
     when needed.   
      
   # Please don't hesitate to contact the moderator with any questions in   
     private.   
      
   Thank you for your participation in POLITICS!   
      
   NOTE for SYSOPS: For a fully moderated experience, please contact the
