Speaks volumes when sense of decency and respect is lost because of how the charter on a discussion forum is written.
Lack of character and consideration comes to mind with your proclamation.
Is there an example of something I wrote about a specific player that demonstrated a “sense of decency and respect is lost” or “lack of character and consideration” on my part, DMac? I can't tell whether you are implying something about me specifically or just making a general statement.
I'm curious to test what you claim against some recent remarks. How do these
https://fanlax.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=416755#p416755 comments about this particular player hang in the balance when weighing them against a "sense of decency and respect"? Do they "lack character and consideration" or are they okay in your book?
What exactly is the litmus test for what crosses the line when commenting on players?
How about these comments by journalists Emily Giambalvo from the Washington Post and Edward Lee from the Baltimore Sun?

I'm interested to have some examples from the above comments to measure against the standards you present here.
In a wider scope, when all is said and done, these standards you mention are applied to others comments subjectively. One person may think they're fine and another may not. All in the eye of the beholder, as is said. So where do we go from there? That's where the charter comes in. If folks find the charter too broad with too much room for abuse, then maybe another forum should be launched. But as long as this particular one exists, the rules and guidelines are pretty clearly defined and enforced.
