After reading many PM's I thought I'd take a minute and post the rules for this forum.
1) No personal attacks or profanity. We welcome fans from other teams who want to come here and talk football. I don't expect visiting fans to agree with the views we have of our players. But if you think Tom Brady stinks, you'll need to explain why you think he stinks, and you had better make sure you don't call someone here a name because you disagree. The same holds true for Patriots fans. This is your home turf, but please carry yourself with class and show fans of other teams that same respect. If something happens that you feel the moderators or myself needs to know, click the "report a post" icon.
2) No flaming. Don't come into a thread two or three posts in and throw in a once sentence reply and call someone "stupid" or "ignorant". Take the time to explain why you're so intelligent that everyone needs to stop what they're talking about and see your side. The same holds true for Patriots fans.
3) Do Not cut and paste entire articles Do not cut and paste entire articles and post them here. You are allowed to take sentence or two and provide a link, but cutting and pasting an entire article is not allowed. I understand it's done elsewhere, but it is copyright infringement and we don't permit it. Please PM any of the moderators in the event you see it done.
That's it for now, but I'll be adding to this as situations come up. Feel free to PM me with suggestions as well as I always enjoy hearing them. I'll be locking this thread too, so again PM me with any concerns.
