General Forum Rules:
To maintain a constructive and inclusive environment for all participants, we kindly request that you adhere to the following guidelines:

1. Respectful dialogue: Treat fellow members with respect, even when engaging in heated discussions. Disagreements are natural, but personal attacks, hate speech, or derogatory language will not be tolerated.

2. Stay focused: Keep your posts relevant to government, politics, public policy, and related topics. Avoid straying into unrelated subjects or engaging in excessive off-topic conversations.

3. Fact-based discussions: Support your arguments with reliable sources and verifiable information. Misinformation and baseless claims hinder productive discourse.

4. Open-mindedness: Approach discussions with an open mind, considering diverse perspectives and willingness to challenge your own beliefs. Constructive criticism is welcomed.
