I'm in!
New guy here so my point of view may not carry as much weight.
This is a good forum with good people. It is important to hold ourselves to a high standard and I appreciate what you are saying.
One thing I disagree with - I don't think that being a gentleman means not discussing politics, religion, or any subject that someone may disagree or be offended by.
It is important, as a gentleman, to be reverent toward certain issues and to respect people but it is perfectly fine and right to disagree and also to put forth the ideas we as individuals find most worthy.
I think a major part of being a gentleman is that we learn to hear things that we disagree with and try to see it from the other's viewpoint. Also to learn that being offended is a choice and we can choose to not be offended.
