EACH ONE TEACH ONE AND GROW TOGETHER
Civil exchanges are encouraged and disagreements will be expected, but disrespect will not be tolerated. Everyone opinion has value from the basic beginner to the season instructor though one is based in experience and one is based on the experiences of others, we should attempt to find a common ground.
We have many different methods and expertise to reference and exchange ideas with, however this is not simply a mutual admiration society. If you don't take a stand, you will fall for anything.
Since, this is an adult based group adult language may be use to express a point. However foul language for the sake of shock or crudeness is undesirable.
