I come to you not as a member of the Church, nor of Shallam, nor of the
Paladins or any other organization. For the sake of mortal sanity, and
the respectability of this public forum, I urge each and every one of
you to think long and hard before you post.

Every time a person enters a public forum such as this, and makes
himself heard, he has placed himself on Sapient trial. What are you
trying to prove by your posts? Who are you trying to convince? All
public posts on this board are either propaganda or debate. Use this
Divine gift wisely.

Most mortals are not nave enough to fall for false accusations.
Propaganda fools few. And if you are speaking to the whole world in
effort to convince a nave few, the majority will see right through your
ploy. You must really prove your point to those you are trying to accuse
if you honestly, sincerely, wish them to listen to you. Debate as you
wish, without straying from pure Immortal, absolute, un-changing facts.
Otherwise, you are most likely only harming yourself when you post.

Realize that when you say something to the entire world, that you
yourself will be judged by everyone that hears it. Slander others, and
your sense of honor and decency will diminish. Blindly generalize, and
you shall be ostracized. Speculate without proof, and you will be looked
at as the Achaean fool, and your words will fall on deaf ears.

Sadly, the sanctity of this forum has decayed greatly. Few really pay
attention to the honest words people have to say, and even fewer would
waste their time and money to correct the uncountable abuses of the
public boards. So I ask you again, please, if not for the sake of your
own dignity, for the validity of this forum as a useful entity, think
long and hard before you post.

I will -not- waste my time and money to correct any abuses of this post.
If you wish to abuse it, you are only degrading your own respectability
and the respectability of the public board you are vainly abusing.
