Guidelines for Participation

Here are some guidelines for being involved in the Javul.org project:

• Have a constructive and positive attitude. This doesn't mean that you are discouraged from pointing out issues. Just be constructive.
• Work together with others on a common goal
• Do not support a viewpoint only because that's the way it has been done in the past. If thats the only defense for supporting that viewpoint, the defense of such a viewpoint is invalid.

Defending something only because thats the way it has been done in the past is the least intellectually demanding

• Use logical and rational arguments
• Do not engage in any kind of ad hominem while talking to others. This weakens your argument
• Respect subject-matter experts and the research and data they have created and compiled. If you disagree with their findings, be sure to find alternate research/data to support your claims. Realize that as an arbitrary person on the internet, your subjective opinions can be challenged by anyone and if you provide references to back up your claims, you will strengthen your argument.
