Non-technical topics
You are entitled to personal opinions, even to strongly held ones, in the domains of politics, religion, philosophy, morals, education of children, pets, personal hygiene, and others. This site isn't the place where to express them.
We reserve the right to bar you from this site if you express opinions that can shock others or may cause outrage in some countries or cultures - even if we understand you or even agree with you.
Technical topics
On technical topics, you are expected to show some restraint and respect for others.
Keep in mind that however knowledgeable you feel, there may be people who know more than you do in your domain;
and remember that there has been a time when you didn't know much, either, and that some things
you have thought were true at one time were later proved to be plain wrong.
Avoid sarcasm and irony, they may be misunderstood.
We are very keen on keeping this site a "nice place" and we take complaints about behavior seriously.
