People come and go, and could be in the room any time of the day or night, but if nobody is in the room when you come in, you can leave the chat window open, then open a new browser window to continue doing what you were doing. When someone comes into chat you will hear a chime and you can go back to the chat window. There are usually people in Chat in the evenings.

The only things NOT allowed in chat are:
1. Sexual conversation with the implication of sexual arousal.
NOTE: Sexual discussion for the purpose of education is encouraged, and there is nothing that cannot be discussed as long as proper terminology is used (i.e. no slang).
2. Disrespect of others.
This does not mean that people cannot disagree. We must be open to listening to all ideas and beliefs. It simply means that people are respectful of each other – i.e. your statements must be presented as YOUR beliefs, and you must NOT try to convince others that your idea is “right” and theirs is “wrong”.
If agreement to disagree cannot be reached, then if someone requests that a conversation be stopped, it must be stopped IMMEDIATELY and without further challenges!
