I've been noting the debates surrounding raw feeding with some interest and increasing disappointment. As you all know, I set up TDK to be an environment that provided its users with a haven away from the bickering and name-calling that are the hallmark of most messageboards. I have very clear guidelines about the standard of behaviour I expect - and your responsibility in upholding them - and I'm very sad that they're being abused so frequently.
We're a community of many types of people, all of whom have the right to feel comfortable and who may not think what you think, believe what you believe or see what you see.
I will not tolerate the personal attacks that seem to be becoming more and more frequent on TDK. If you disagree with someone, feel free to make your point, but without attacking other posters personally, or directing blame at them - their reasons for holding their views will almost certainly be just as valid as your own.
I don't want to have to start adding other topics to the "do not discuss" list, but I won't hesitate to do so if necessary, nor will I hesitate to shut this site down altogether if people can't abide by the very simple standards of behaviour I ask you to abide by. They're there for everyone's benefit, and you all have a responsibility to ensure they're upheld.
Thanks for listening.
