oneworldtalk

Dear forumers,

This is an open forum but forum writers who post unconventional views should not expect to convert everyone to their beliefs. One would earn credibility by supporting assessments with facts and convince through persuasion and wisdom.

We assume that most forumers would have the level of education and maturity to make a distinction between facts and opinions. It is understandable that each individual's views and impressions could be shaped by different personal experiences. Nevertheless, there are certain universally accepted guidelines on adherence to objectivity and intellectual debate.

While we could have different interpretations of facts within certain acceptable limits, factual information could not be distorted or exaggerated to served one's argument or purpose. Refusal to acknowledge facts and continuing the thread with irrelevant posts do not reflect well of the writer.

Posters should be made aware that irrelevant points and digression from the subject matter or key issues may result in some posts being deleted.

This forum also does not tolerate personal slanders and offensive language. Even friends and members of the same family could disagree on certain subjects but continue to treat each other with respect.

Moderators are volunteers and may not be vigilant in spotting spelling errors and violations of forum regulations. We understand that forum participants come from diverse backgrounds and various parts of the world. We therefore urge forumers to report discrepancies if you wish to clarify the boundaries or would like Admin to consider possible courses of action.

Admin would also like to take this opportunity to remind forum writers to spell check their posts before submitting. You could edit the posts if you find glaring spelling or grammatical errors on second reading.

Have a good week.

Regards,
Administration

To all forum participants :

After careful deliberation, the moderators of oneworldtalk forum wish to remind posters to ruminate, exercise discretion and acumen. This is a board that promotes learning and intellectual discussion, not a frivolous talk shop. While everyone is free to express their opinion, views must be substantiated with facts or arguments that are rational and sound. We urge posters not to quote from obscure writers of blogs and dubious sources. As we are fully aware, many blog writers tend to sensationalize and mix facts with fiction to produce stories that would appeal to the uninitiated.

It is fine to cite credible secondary sources. We welcome humour and certainly tolerate occasional tongue-in-cheek comments on the peripheral but these should not dominate forum space. We loathe to resort to hitting the delete button for persistent offenders.

Thank you for your attention.
