A Few Rules to keep things running smoothly: 1) No personal attacks 2) We'll recognize your right to free speech if you'll recognize our right to disagree with you. 3) Please DO NOT post a message about how much you hate Jamestown and how glad you are that you left. The people of Jamestown are glad that you left too and, frankly, we just don't want to hear it. 4) Feel free to tell us how warm it is in Florida but if you tell us in mid January don't expect us to like you. 5) Mature adults are able to debate opinions without causing mayhem. If you're not a mature adult please act like one anyway. 6) If you curse or otherwise annoy the forum I will delete you and call your mother. Don't make me do it. 7) Have fun! |
