8. How can I contact the site manager? Send a message to jwurth@mailtribune.com. You can access the messaging feature of this site via the "inbox" situated in the upper right corner of "My Page."
9. What should I do if I see content I don’t like but that isn’t covered by the guidelines above? Not every discussion on the site will fall in line with the values/morals/lifestyles of every community member. We suggest you disregard the conversations that are not appropriate for you.

It is up to the community members to ensure that the site discussions are positive, informative, supportive and entertaining. If you feel attacked by another member, contact the site manager via private message. Personal attacks, in posts or private messages, will not be tolerated.
11. What’s the best way to handle a discussion that’s becoming heated? Walk away. When it becomes obvious that a poster is not willing to be open minded and accepting of others’ opinions, it is pointless to continue the discussion. Walking away also gives you time to calm down and get your emotions in check so you don’t post a comment you’ll regret later.
