"We understand that debates get heated, but personal attacks and abusive language will not be tolerated"

Can we all calm down a bit please?

I've been written to several times about how abrasive and aggressive this section has become.

Several have pointed out that the language in particular has become childish and brutish, with name calling and hyperbole being especially annoying.

So let's calm down a bit. Let's stop calling people "traitors to britain" and "friends of jihad" or similarly rude things.

If you can't make your opinion felt without resorting to these personal attacks, then you'll likely be met with suspension, or banning.

All the best,

Ed

This Referendum issue is sort of like a math/maths class: It has created quite a division amongst you, and the gap is multiplying daily with the addition of acrimonious remarks which is really subtracting from the quality of the site.

Retro, if you become over-wound, I shall have to come over there, take the tension off your click, and slowly unwind you with my let-down tool:)

Plaster is short for plaster of Paris which rhymes with Aris. Aris is short for Aristotle and that is a rhyme for bottle. Bottle and glass is the ultimate rhyme.

/// But please feel free to carry on moaning about it... ///

In the true spirit of this newly formed polite AnswerBank, shouldn't that be:

"But please feel free to carry on complaining about it?"

There, that is much better, isn't it, not as retrocop needs your permission?
