This board is a bulwark against the rapid degeneration of aesthetic sense in modern society. This is the only place left in the digital age where meaningful literary discourse can occur, except for (maybe) certain college campuses.

Accordingly, be sure to encourage literacy instead of stifling it. Somebody hasn't read Pynchon's entire oeuvre? Instead of calling them a retarded faggot woman, maybe argue why they should (or should not). Someone hasn't read the Bibble? Recommend your favorite chapter or verse. Someone can't articulate why they liked the latest Murakami book? Ask a follow up question or two.

This board is the best place for literary discussion on the internet, and probably the planet. Let's keep it that way. Challenge one another, but do so with positive and constructive intentions.

Love,

Bill Murray

I entirely agree. My father’s last words before he died last month were: be kind to one another.

Less non literature related threads please (not including meta threads). I don't care what coffee you drink, I don't care if you don't know how to talk to girls, I don't care if you are depressed. Take it to another board or at least TRY to frame your self centered baloney within the context of literature. Other boards follow their outlined principles, why can't we? My kindness is contingent upon this. As long as it is adhered to I will do my best to treat you with respect, regardless of differences of opinion.

This is a very fair and entirely reasonable approach.

Agreed. We have our lapse moments, but for the most part I think most people here do still care about the written word in an actual age of anxiety and mass confusion.
