A free thinking community
This is a place for free expression but we do hope that our community will be vigilant and question anyone who is advertising something that does not seem appropriate or within the spirit of this community.

Abuse
If you should feel at any time that a business is abusing this audience or claiming to be something that it is not please do let us know by using the ‘report’ facility located at the top of each listing or article or by commenting on their profile page – but even then, please be as courteous as possible.

We hope that we can make this site a sustainable facility where everyone benefits and enjoys its facilities. Please help us to be vigilant. Let us know if you believe someone is abusing this space or may not be using this site in the spirit in which it is created. Only if the community reports abusers can it truly remain a place of free positive thinking. Without this it would be extremely difficult to monitor but let’s not allow this problem to stop us from creating a place for free expression and which values honesty decency and civility.
