Man there was a whole Lotta Butthurt (*) over the new rules. I thought they were a good thing!! being what those threads had digressed too!!

I just read through the thread. While I may not agree with every aspect I have no problem following the rules.. Some just want to push everything too far.

DO NOT test the MODs patience on this new rule and do not nit pick or try and see how close to the line you can get with out crossing it.

There's a fine line between "joking" and deliberately pushing buttons or getting your digs in while claiming that it was a "joke". I would suggest that until folks get used to the new rules and things settle down a bit, you err on the side of caution in this regard.

Thanks.

admittedly i did not read the article talking about the other site that was closed down.

that being said.

i would think that quoting sections of articles or documents with appropriate credit given should be ok or else every research paper in the country would immediately be subject to litigation. I would think that maybe a lawyer or someone here who is married to a lawyer may, be consulted to the stipulations of what would be considered plagarism or etc..

im sure that once this is properly investigated it will be found that with proper documentation and credit given to authors that maybe the dreaded rule # 2 can be re worded in a way to allow relaying pertinent information from documents written by others..
just my 2c ....
