Any review or discussion should:

• Be courteous and respectful of other people's ideas and perspectives.
• Be on topic and related to the specific content or resource.
• Be easy to read, concise and to the point.
• Add to the topic or stimulate discussion: for instance, contributing new information or a contrasting point of view.
