1. Be prepared to be right and wrong. Someone once said that it takes no special talent to be mean. Conversely, it takes great strength and eloquence to concede part or the whole of a position you took, when necessary.
2. Argue your points with spirit but don't surrender your respect for others.
3. Don't attempt to ridicule others by referring to them by anything other than the proper name or handle they identify themselves with.
4. Whether you agree with others, understand that they are here because they have an interest in the well being of our great city. That, we can all agree on.
5. Don't make a nuisance of yourself. The Hamiltonian remains a not for profit service to Hamiltonians, and it is unfair to expect our staff to intervene in schoolyard like tactics.
6. Try to have fun. Its all about our great city.
