The posts this morning about Stan and the comments on those posts have been moved off of the front page but they were not deleted nor unpubbed. They can be found by anyone who looks for them but I'd prefer that the matter be dropped since it seems to have blown out with a few appropriate apologies.

I'm actually impressed that such a hot topic came up and got openly discussed and no one lost their temper.

I haven't been reading all of the comments in question that seem to have provided the impetus for this but attack comments are not allowed here at BC. It's in the masthead, "a friendly place". If something you are about to say could be considered unfriendly, don't say it here.

Don't stalk or harass people in PMs or comments. that's not friendly.

If you have a gripe about another BC member's behavior, in forums, blogs, comments or PM, PM them or me.

If you have a gripe about a story, PM the author or me. I'll probably tell you that it's a story and if you don't like it, tough. :)

Remember that almost everyone that comes here is a little bit wounded by life. Try to leave the salt shakers and sharp pointy objects somewhere else.

BC is meant to be a safe, friendly place where people can enjoy reading, writing and discussing TG fiction.

If the purpose of your forum, blog or comment does not fit into the above statement, it should at least not be intended to hurt, annoy or embarrass anyone.

No one is saying you have to be friends with everyone here. Being friendly doesn't go that far. :) If someone really annoys you just by being themselves, well, it has been pointed out that there is an ignore button on the site.

Hugs to all,
Erin
