Ground Rules

We are a global community and the written word can be misinterpreted so we ask you to:

    • Be respectful.

    • Be courteous.

    • Be part of something bigger than yourself.

Everyone makes mistakes once in a while and has errors in judgment.

With that in mind we are adopting the three strikes you’re out guideline.

Questions
