Discussion+Board+Code


 * Discussion Board Code of Conduct**

I will express myself with civility, courtesy, and respect for everyone, especially toward those with whom I disagree—even if I feel disrespected by them. (Romans 12:17-21)

I will express my disagreements with other people’s ideas without insulting, mocking, or slandering them personally. (Matthew 5:22)

I will not exaggerate others' beliefs nor make unfounded prejudicial assumptions based on labels, categories, or stereotypes. I will always extend the benefit of the doubt. (Ephesians 4:29)

I will hold others accountable by reporting to the teacher comments that violate these principles, based not on //what// ideas are expressed but on //how// they're expressed. (2 Thessalonians 3:13-15)

I understand that comments reported as inappropriate are reviewed by the teacher and are subject to removal. Repeat offenders will be blocked from making further comments. ([|Proverbs 18:7])
