CTA Forum Policy
Discussion Forum Rules:
- Brevity - There's a famous quote attributed variously to Blaise Pascal, Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln, and George Bernard Shaw (!): "I'm sorry I wrote you such a long letter; I wanted to write a short one but I didn't have time." Being concise takes a lot of work! Please condense your thoughts to the most economical form.
- Civility - Participants join discussion in a spirit of fellowship, friendship, and common values based in reason and enlightenment. Comments should be supportive of a person's good qualities or virtues as the primary emphasis, and be genteel and respectful.
- Positivity - Seek out and emphasize positive moral values including community camaraderie.
- Relevance - The Forum is focussed on grasping human nature through art and culture, and in using works of art to cultivate enlightenment. The forum's content is curated by the forum leader. The goal is to make the forum community into a model of a rational culture, and to support the individual's growth as a reasoning being.
