We vociferously deny association with and in our hearts refuse sympathy with any current or historical “hate group” such as White Supremacists, Neo-Nazis, etc. We endorse the unique value and talents of each individual human person, born and unborn. We value the spirit of community, and we will not tolerate criminal activity.

Just as feminism began as a much needed movement to elevate the status of women, but evolved to include antagonism with the male gender (e.g. “A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle,” and occasionally actual gender war breaks out, our call to reinvigorate the masculine element in civil and polite society will not intend to antagonize the female-gendered reader.

While discourse can become contentious, we follow Mama’s rule to never argue over facts: look them up, and corroborate them. Strong opinions may clash, but we honor our adversaries and consider their criticism thoughtfully. Ad hominem attacks should be called out as such, and dismissed as improper. Categorical thinking will be picked apart such that the fallacy of attribution of group characteristic to an individual is avoided.

We must ask users to choose English for their postings here, although we would welcome bi-lingual submissions in a user’s native tongue familiar to them and others sharing that language other than English, provided an English translation is provided, also. Japanese, German, Spanish, French, Italian… would be welcome attachment to an English translation.
