I don't think we need a whole new forum for this. If you want to brag about your pet, do it in the Photo Gallery.

I have seen many justify their sociopathic actions (Sociopathy is a psychological construct that describes chronic immoral and antisocial behavior) by using excuses such as these: this is not real, they are just pixels, the system is not perfect anyway, among other justifications.
I would challenge this, with the following: "Cogito, ergo sum" (Latin: "I think, therefore I am")
The simple meaning of the phrase is that if someone is wondering whether or not he exists, that is in and of itself proof that he does exist. On this forum there is a living, breathing, THINKING individual that you are affecting.
I understand that within any community there are huge variations of emotional maturity and this can lead to some of these examples of antisocial behavior, but as a community it is our responsibility to define parameters of behavior we are willing to accept from others.
If you know of someone that is abusing another person in anyway: price fixing, verbally attacking them, scamming, or in any way lacks respect for the individual and the community, it is your responsibility to protect the victim and the forum. We are our brother’s keeper.
I am not suggesting we will all sing Kum Ba Yah and start hugging each other, merely we should attempt to understand that an “E” Jerk is still a Jerk and this behavior is just the same in this community as it is in the one you live in at home.
