Exclamation Politics and Religion

Just a word to let you know that, while we enjoy a rather open atmosphere in the OT forum, we steer away from heavy politics and/or religion.

Why?

So that we can all enjoy ourselves. There are plenty of places to discuss politics and religion online, and we feel any of those places would be better than here.

Posts/threads violating this policy will be edited or deleted at the discretion of your RS staff.

Thanks, and... let's just have some fun, eh?

Travis

Re: Politics and Religion

there are 3 things you should never discuss at work (or around lots of people) they are pay, religion, and politics.

why, because it just causes arguments and like ethics there is no correct answer, only opinions. And there are plenty of other things to argue about here huh (JK)!!!

excellent policy.

Which Star Trek was the best could certainly get out of hand.
