Noticing a few nearby posts in which respect appears to be missing.

So, several points that need repeating.

The essence of a community requires that all must be respectful, which doesn't mean one may not express his or her thoughts.

Can't do it respectfully?

Staff is very willing to lend a hand -- meaning that post will be blanked out and the poster given 24 hours to "reflect" on the wording.

Need more time? The next step up is 168 hours of reflection time.

Anyone who wants more just needs to repeat step(s) 1 and 2 above as necessary.

Noticed a comment that some handles from elsewhere appear to have been scooped up or mis-applied herein.

There are two causes for that

1) flat out adopting someone else's handle. That is not "respectful" and if adjustments are necessary, they will be made.

2) as many here fully understand, a log-in may be totally different or very close to a display handle. It would appear some log-ins have been adopted from existing handles elsewhere, perhaps in admiration, perhaps not.

Anyone with a handle issue outlined above may PM explaining what he or she would like to make by way of adjustments.

Making this a sticky and also copying to the main forum threads as needed.
