AVOIDING INAPPROPRIATE TOPICS

The list is open to all, regardless of profession,
place of residence, gender, age, ethnicity, economic
status, educational background, lifestyle, religious
beliefs... but it is not a forum for airing opinions
about the validity of any one particular belief
system, lifestyle preference, etc., compared to
another. Specific examples of inappropriate topics
include:

posts not related to birds, birding, and the natural
world

shade-grown coffee (who sells it and who doesn't;
unfortunately, shade-grown coffee has a way of
proliferating on the internet much faster than it does
on coffee plantations)

cats (pro or con)

hunting (pro or con)

religion (including creationism vs. evolution)

Posts on such subjects all too often provoke
unenlightened "debate" of a purely adversarial nature,
and sometimes degenerate into personal attacks couched
in terms and language offensive to the whole list.
Therefore, these topics lie outside the Tweeters
charter and are strongly discouraged.
