Civility
People can be passionate in their feelings surrounding LiveJournal. That passion sometimes manifests in comments that're negative in nature. This community has over 1300 permanent account holders, and has managed to exist for some time now without the need for warnings or bans.
As a reminder, common courtesy is expected. There is no cause for some of the abusive language, rude arrogance, or disrespect for even marginally different opinions I've been seeing in the last several months. Tongue-in-cheek, one might say this defines LJ; this should not define your interactions in this community. I've had several people express that it makes them uncomfortable to participate in the community, and in a community where our discussion revolves around shared interests, that shouldn't be the case.
Please be civil and respectful of other. If we need to start warning and/or banning accounts, we can do that.
