In case any of you missed this yesterday. I'm reposting it due to the highly
charge emotional state of some topics.

> 3) Be willing to accept that other people have different opinions.
> 4) No one can change your mind, but you.

> 6) Stick to the subject (and for this list that subject should be L5R)
> 7) Accept that you may be incorrect. Be courageous enough to admit it.
