Channel participants should be respectful of all paths, and not impose a particular view on any others.

	That said, in order to allow any beings a place to seek refuge, certain things aren't appropriate. Trolling or other harmful conduct won't get far. All forms of hatred or intolerance are right out, including sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. Any slurs are discouraged at best. If you feel such things, you aren't required to change your view on them, but you will have to leave those aspects outside of the channel. There are plenty of other places online where you may troll freely, this doesn't need to be another one.
