..... is subjective and open to interpretation.

Please be aware that I'm learning and may change my mind about decisions due to feedback from posters and my learning curve.

The criteria I use as I sit here deciding what to do is: would I want these things said to me or about my loved ones? The written word can defame the character of individuals and groups both within and also outside the Curezone community. What may seem inoffensive to you may seem offensive to others.

Here's a tip for you: before clicking the send button, you could read your post aloud, so you can hear how it might sound to others. And you can think about whether you'd want it said to or about you or your friends or family.

Here are the guidelines I'm doing my best to follow:

-----------------------------------------------------------

from TOS:

"You agree to not use the Service to:
• "stalk", "annoy", "irritate" or otherwise harass CureZone members
 
• "stalk", "annoy", "irritate", "attack", "accuse", "threaten", "abuse", "defame", "harm" or otherwise harass CureZone moderators
 
• harm minors in any way;
 
• make available any content that is hateful, abusive, harassing, offensive, threatening, defamatory, libelous, harmful, vulgar, obscene, unlawful or otherwise objectionable, especially content with generalized statement(s) about members of any nation, religion, ethnic group, minority, race, gender, profession, age group, or any other similar large group of people, incluiding but not limiting to Americans, Dutch, Homosexuals, Christians, Moslems, American Natives, African Americans, Jews, Russians, Mexicans, Gypsies, Caucasians, Arabs, Latinos, Chinese, Asians, Africans, Sami, etc"

"Don't do upon others what you wouldn't have them do upon you."
