THE RUMOR MILL NEWS AGENT'S PRIME DIRECTIVE
The RMN Agent's
HANDBOOK for the "RULES OF ENGAGEMENT"!
If you are a relatively new agent, PLEASE review this and ALL the threads!
Forum Prime Directive, "The Right to Disagree"
http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/archive.cgi?read=11133
Some excerpts from "The Right to Disagree"
Each of us has a piece of the puzzle --
Each of us has a blind spot
Each of us had prejudices that we don't know about
Each of us are insecure in certain areas and need ego or familiar, safe or "politically correct" belief systems to make us feel strong.
Rumor Mill News hopes that by reading different ideas from different people -- the readers can gain a larger perspective of what is going on right now.
Each group has a piece of the puzzle -- Rumor Mill News is the place where all pieces are treated with respect and considered. Every piece has a bit of truth. We cannot throw the baby out with the bath water just because we run headlong into a belief system that we despise.
end of quotes
Rumor Mill News is unique on the internet. We have people from ALL walks of life, all races, all religions, all political parties and all belief systems!
We have created an envioronment where we can learn from each other.
The main rule on the forum --
And it is THIS RULE that distinguishes us from the usual bulletin board -- is NO AD HOMINEM attacks on agents or other journalists.
You may say -- That article is a piece of crap!!
But you may not say - YOU are a piece of crap!!
Also... no labeling an agent as a government plant or disinfo aagent.
If an agent is a government plant, they will reveal themselves very quickly! And we will then be rid of them!
If they reveal themselves to be 100% directed by one or the other of the political parties...
If they are unable to unable to realize that they are merely parroting back all the "spin" that the parties dispense...
If they have not taken the time to read RMN and understand that the threat to the United States does NOT come from one or the other of the Political parties... but from a group of people who control BOTH parties...
then... they will have shown themselves to be incapable of freeing themselves from the LIE.
and...
they will go the way all of this kind have gone...
self selection and self ejection has worked beautifully on this forum for all normal people... in the case of government plants.. RMN has had to forcefully eject them!
I hope all new agents will take the time to read the Rules of Engagement and other writings.
thank you,
Rayelan
Oh... almost forgot... One other thing!! Can you please use ALL caps for your subject lines?? Unless of course you are using small letter and caps to illustrate a point... or if you have long held philosophical reasons for never using caps in a subject line. The reason for this? So I don't have to retype the subject line when I am putting your headline on the front page!! The front page looks best when it is all the same...
LASTLY:
A quote from Oliver Haddo who is without a computer at this moment and cannot post:
"Rumor Mill News does not fit into a box.
This place is as vast and lawless and deep and unpredictable as the urge to freedom. Nobody on the other side will ever understand what makes it tick."
Serving Freedom
and Liberty
