I agree that it sounds a) like common sense and b) like censorship. But I haven't been personally insulted yet. I have read some really obnoxious and abusive threads, including one listing people whose posts to avoid, and I must say, I would take it as a great compliment to be included in that list, which seemed to name all the 'Catters whose posts and responses I really enjoy reading! Also, I tend to take life as a floor show, and thus laugh a lot at what bothers others tremendously (need I add, that very attitude had bothered others tremendously. But it has kept me sane through 3 mergers and 5 company names in the last 6 years). But, again, I haven't been personally abused. I would like to think that if I were, I would be able to "rise above it" and not respond, at least not while still mad... and I am willing to promise or affirm my willingness to attempt such maturity and restraint... but that sounds like promising to act my age, or be civilized, or something I shouldn't have to promise.

Also, what Newcomer's packet? I didn't get anything when I joined, maybe a couple of weeks ago...
