Dear Emit.

Thank you for your inquiry. As you may be aware, things have been quite tense on the Patriot board as of late. After many hours of mediation and removing posts, we felt it necessary to keep a reminder to our six rules of use at the top of the discussion forum, as a measure to keep the peace on the board.

While we do feel the measure to be somewhat extreme, we trust you have noticed a turn for the better over the weekend as well as this week.

We hope things will calm down over the next 48 hours so we may take down our reminder message.

In the interim, we appreciate your patience and your efforts in helping us keep our community clean.

Kind Regards,
AGORACOM
