Application of warnings or bans will be subject to moderator discretion. Feel free to appeal. If changes to the guidelines are necessary, they will be adjusted.


If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a group that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of any other group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you you will be banned on sight.

Provable means able to provide proof to the moderation, and, if necessary, to the community.

I like to tell people that the heart doesn't have any thinking capabilities.

But it's nice to know that some ancient Egyptian traditions survive.

You should be aware you do this every day yourself, all the time. Everyone does. If we didn't, we'd get bogged down with cognitive calculations to the point where we'd freeze in place until dying of starvation.

Rational people try to make sure those mental shortcuts match actual reality before relying on them, these fanatics don’t
