Rule clarification

[HuskyFreeNorthwest]

Nope. I'm the velvet fist.

Funny I just told YOhio that the EC is dropping the velvet hammer.

Sweet, a nifty maiden voyage for the new feature.

And I think it's funny that a thread asking for a "rules clarification" now has well over 200 posts and isn't losing steam. Imagine if we tried to satisfy a particular poster's request for more rules and guidelines that would provide him with greater clarity. We'd make the Code of Federal Regulations seem like a pamphlet.

Exactly.

You opened the Pandora's Box of moderation. I know everyone thinks you can keep it simple, but you can't.

And this was my biggest LOL of the day. Thanks.

The biggest laugh of your whole day came at the expense of two posters here.

Speaks volumes.

If I can find a secret place, I am going to make a comment in there about you. I just wanted to be upfront about it.

Oh, I am sorry, but I checked my schedule and I won't be unavailable in couple of weeks.

Reading this whole thread, I am able to gather:

TB wants everyone to play nice in the way that he defines as nice

Lingo wants everyone to play fair in the way that he defines fair


Did I miss anything else?

Nope. Pretty much sums it up.

I just want everyone to play nice period. But as DDD illustrated if you wanna wrestle with pigs you've got to get into the mud.

Hey! That was what I was saying too. Sort of the Rodney King question. Why can't we all just get along? The answer, of course, is that PAC's divisive rhetoric drives wedges between natural friends. He is like the sadistic cop that takes a shovel full of black ants and dumps them on the red ant hill. He is like the sadistic cub scout instigating violence between the Crips and the Bloods. I say we run PAC out of this town, and peace will prevail!

[HuskyFreeNorthwest]

Sure you did.

Are you calling me a liar sir? Mods, can we look into this? I don't think calling any poster, even if it is one as lowly as myself, a liar is acceptable behavior.

Son, we live on a board that has walls and those walls need to be guarded by mods with powers. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Finderson? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lingo and curse the Executive Committee; you have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Lingo's cyberdeath, while tragic, probably saved lives and that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use them as the backbone of a life trying to defend something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and posts under the blanket of the very freedom I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you," and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest that you pick up a keyboard and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

Awesome. I stand ready to follow you into the depths of hell if need be, Sir.
