ADMIN: Reminder to "Play Nice"

[Sheryll Townsend]

No: HPFGUIDX 136933

Rylly Elf gathers the rest of the List Elves around the Main
list, "Look at that, it's kind of scary!"

"What?"
"Oh my goodness!"
"We better say something"
"Yes, quickly, before it, it... explodes!"

"Now, now, calm down. All we need to do remind them to play nice,"
says Rylly Elf.

Yes, that's right fellow list members, we're asking you to *play
nice*. Remember that each of us reads the text differently. Please
respect that not everyone sees canon in the same way or takes the
same things from it. We are each entitled to our opinions.

When stating something that *is* opinion, please make it clear that
you are doing so. Use of things like 'IMO', 'as I see it', 'I think',
will help your fellow list members understand that you are stating
opinion and not fact. When debating with other list members, remember
to address the issues at hand without the use disparaging or
disrepectful remarks. And it's never okay to make personal remarks
about the other list member's opinions, no matter how much you
disagree with them!

"Think that will work?"

"I think so," says Rylly Elf, "These are Harry Potter fans. They
almost always end up seeing a thread through to the finish without
hurting anyone."

"What? You mean there *won't* be bloodshed?"
"Of course not!"
"Thank goodness. It's a huge list, I wouldn't want to be the one to
have clean it up in the end."

Trusting there will be no bloodshed,

Rylly Elf
