Have fun! Please, remember, that all tournaments are held on an Eastern Time (US/Canada) schedule. Treat one another with kindness and respect. We are all FRIENDS here and that should be a given. DRAMA IN OUR LEAGUE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED! IF YOU ARE HERE TO CAUSE ANY KIND OF PROBLEM THEN PLEASE SEE YOURSELF OUT OTHERWISE, YOU WILL BE SHOWN OUT!!!
1: People should never discuss …. Religion...Politics...Sex...or any other touchy subject, while in open chat. If for some reason they wish to discuss one or all of these, then they should call the person they wish to talk with, into PC, where only their views are seen by each other, not by all who may get offended.
Every person has the right to have their own views on matters, what they do not have is the right to criticize or make fun of another person's views. Whether you are married or just living together and not married, you are black, white, Asian, catholic, Mus.B.Any other nationality, race, or religionare heterosexual or homosexual...…that is YOUR business alone. No one has the right to ridicule you or condemn you for it.... especially in an open chat for all to see.
2: Offensive or vulgar language should not be used, nor implied. If what you are about to say, you yourself would feel offended if you heard it said by others. Then don't say it. A point to remember; FRIENDS room is a family room, where everyone is welcome, including your children. Keep it clean and your league will flourish, fill it with smut....and you will soon disappear.
3: Criticism; Do not be quick to criticize others for what you feel they have done wrong. No one is without fault! Comments which belittle another person are hurtful...if someone were to comment in that regard about you.... would you like it? Ifyou feel someone is doing somethingincorrectly. Notifyyour TD, let them be aware of your feelings, but DO NOT cause a commotion by making statements in open chat.
4: GOSSIP; - WHY DO WE GOSSIP? Gossip makes a person feel superior about whom they are gossiping. We gossip to draw people into our own hurt and anger. We want others to side with us, then they repeat the story to friends, who repeat the story to friends, and on and on. Even if you gossip the truth, it does not justify passing on hurtful information about someone. Gossip also hurts the gossiper! When you speak ill of someone, you alienate yourself from them personally as well as, that person's friends. THINK before speaking about another person in a controversial manner. Ask yourself, is it true? Is it inspiring? Is it necessary? IS IT KIND? If what you are about to say does not pass these tests, THEN IT IS GOSSIP, and we should keep our mouths SHUT. AMEN, ALL ARE EQUAL IN GOD'S EYES.
