The purpose of this thread is to establish etiquette guidelines for the USMS Discussion Forums. Most of the nearly 900 forum members use common etiquette when posting. Unfortunately this is not always the case. Please use this thread to list suggestions for "netiquette guidelines" for posts on the discussion forums.

I, unfortunately, was one of the participants in "that" thread. In fact I'm afraid I may have unintentionally started the whole mess, even though I thought I was making a perfectly legitimate comment.
I basically agree with Phil's approach and it's pretty much the one I've been following. Up to now, I've mostly succeeded at being indulgent or ignoring certain posters. This time, though, I let myself get provoked, even after I promised myself not to (I think it was the ADD remark). I'm not sure how netiquette rules can prevent that.
