Lighten up folks:  A Revisit of the *Challenge*

I am not disputing the validity of that original challenge but I do have some comments and suggestions.

Since that *Challenge* this NG is dripping wet with tensions because of the various mandates placed on it and the participation has actually *decreased* as a result of it.

I am not suggesting that the *Challenge* was wrong but that we need to perhaps revisit the restrictions it called for as it is obvious it has not worked, including the netcopping of those mandates. I suggest that this new and improved atmosphere has made the NG stale and perhaps even more confrontational.

Suggestions:

1. Stop all netcopping Ignore those who don't abide by the *rules* here (most important!) 2. Allow any sort of topic to be posted but make sure it is marked as OT Then refer back to #1. 3. Stop the personal attacks and insults. 4. Stop the flaming. 5. Stop the trolling for heated arguments. 6. Ignore those who do not abide by these rules.

Do those things and we are fine. Keep on as we are and we are nothing better than what we were.

Actually, *my* challenge is more appropriate and easier to live by.

Do you sign on John?

And none of us should insult, personally attack or flame others......agreed?

While on that subject, none of us should be telling us what is right to post here while doing the same.agreed?

So......the netcopping needs to stop......agreed?

In the first sentence you tell everyone that no one should be telling us what is right to post here. In the very next sentence you are telling everyone what they can post in here.
