How to talk about people on the Forum (and how not to)

[BradKramer]

Focus on discussing other people’s ideas, not on evaluating their character, faith, communication style, or perceived “tone.” Please avoid attributing beliefs, motivations, or attitudes to others.

This is a quote from our official Forum rules. Forum participants are generally good at applying these guidelines to other participants of different views. However, these rules also apply to anyone being discussed, especially public figures in the origins debate. A good rule of thumb: Always talk about someone as if they are in the room listening to you. Because there’s a good chance they are.
