    Hi everyone. My name is Donnie from Pensacola Florida. I've always been a fan of political debate and philosophy. Thought I'd come on and see if I could learn a thing or two.

    Hello CO. Tampa, FL here (Apollo Beach really). This is kind of an addicting forum. I spend more time here than looking online for a better job.

    First forum huh....sounds like a good reason for an advice thread.

    I'll start....here's a few snippets.

    1)always supply links to your used quotations.
    2)come up with a catchy phrase to nicely leave a thread hijacked by trolls, this allows you to avoid moderator actions for insulting those who deserve to be insulted.
    3)never take a debate too seriously...you are here to have fun, so do it.

    One more piece if advice [since this is your first],,,,People can get very passionate, and sometimes carried away. These sites are no place for people with thin skins, we do Moderate and try to keep things respectable, but try not to take things too personally. If somebody does insult you, just report them, and we will handle it for you...

    Enjoy
