This place has certainly gotten more hostile the last year or so. Hope this thread helps the haters rethink themselves.

I hope you will allow me a moment to remind all of us here of the importance of respecting each other as fellow Cowboys fans….

When each of us signed up to be a part of this great forum, we agreed to follow its guiding rules. Three of the most important of those rules are as follows:
#8 - You will not personally attack or insult other members.
#9 - You will not troll or antagonize other members.
#10 - You will not stalk or continuously harass other members.
​
This is a forum. Which means it is purposely and intentionally designed to provide an opportunity for all to offer a variety of opinions. Like all opinion forums, having one set of common views is not going to happen. In fact the variety of opinions are what makes this place work!

Let me make a serious suggestion for anyone who lowers themselves below the standard we have set for mutual respect around here: When someone posts something you disagree with, tell them why you disagree, WITHOUT THE NAME CALLING AND INSULTS. It’s that simple. You can say, “Here’s where I disagree…” or “I think you’re wrong about ____”.

If we allow disrespect, insults, name-calling, etc to happen around here, we are literally destroying this great forum. What makes this place work is not that there is one right way to be a fan of the Dallas Cowboys. This place works because we can disagree without trying to harass, demean or disrespect our fellow fans.

I love this forum and respect everyone who takes the time to offer their opinions- even those I disagree with. If we’re going to keep this forum great, we must all do a better job of respecting each other.

While I think the rules are great, I don't see a lot of mutual respect going on. It is mostly condescending attitude of know-it-alls. While there are some friendly disagreements, most of the time a person will go post after post trying to prove someone wrong and tell them how idiotic their opinion is.

That is just how I see it.

I respect ALL forum members that agree with me......I tolerate the ones that don't, most times.

Buy some and hide it When they go shopping devour it :popcorn:

The "When they go shopping " part is a good idea. That would probably work but, the "hide it" part is where the plan kinda comes apart. There is no such thing in this house. They will find it. Used to be that I could put stuff in my garage but now, the last bastion of privacy has been breached. My oldest Daughter has started up a business and unfortunately, she needed a space so now she is working out of my garage. Alas, there is no hope of hiding anything, at all!

:laugh:

I can't really complain though because I have rode her for a good while now to get a real job. She never was interested in going to collage and just worked as a Bar Tender or waitress and I hated it. So she finally started this business up so I kinda had to give up the space or shut my mouth. As many of you know, over the years, I am pretty much incapable of shutting my mouth so what option did I really have? Anyway, the hiding part is where a perfect plan kinda falls apart, unfortunately.
