Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

If we use the analogy of a bar fight. There is an ongoing brawl between two partues. One of the combatants is for reasons now jabbing punches at another person in the pub. Perhaps pre-emtively in case they might think of helping out the other guy. The other drinkers nearest the brawl have their own views, to be determined. The self proclaimed bouncers from the bar next door, but with interests here too, have made some supportive comments. Will these bouncers be wanting to enter this bar, at this time and either cool things down all round, or mind the back of their pal. Most people just want to get on with their own thing but worry that they'll be caught up in a brawl.
