It always upsets me when I have to re-inforce, re-state or even develop rules governing common sense.
If you've got it, use it. If you in fact have no common sense let me give you "rule of thumb" to live by on this board.
"Don't say anything on here that you would expect to get your *** kicked for in public"
What does that mean, well if you know someone well enough you can usually say something like "Tell your mom I said thanks for last night." However if you say that to a near stranger or someone just walking down the street the mother ****** is gonna knock you the **** out, or at least I would.
Granted we have different ways of handling similar circumstances here on the forum, but none the less they are not tolerated. Battering back and forth is one thing if you know the person, for example vosko and I often give eachother ****, but it doesn't necessarily afford someone whom he has rarely spoken with the same freedoms.
PUT YOURSELF IN THE OTHER PERSONS SHOES. This is a statement I have always tried to live by, granted I stray from it now and then, but it is something I try think about when dealing with anyone in life whether it be on an internet forum, on the phone or living room of my house.
For those without the independant thought process to digest the above scenario let me just say this:
Do not personally attack fellow members or their family, social and/or ethnic background. No one wants to come to a site to be personally insulted or attacked to the point where it is no longer "funny", I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable here or like they are "unloved".
As always if you have any questions feel free to send me a PM or post in this topic, however this topic is in no way open for discussion nor should it really need any further clarification. If you feel you are being harrassed by a fellow forum member feel free to contact me regarding the issue, no one should feel uncomfortable visiting the forum.
Thanks for your time.

You are in trouble, but it doesn't have anything to do with this post LOL 
I pointed no fingers, if this topic applies to the person reading it... take something away from it. If this topic doesn't apply to you... take something away from it.

no vowels, but you can have the b's
Hey, sorry to add an element of silliness to your thread. I do feel that the insulting has gone too far in several occasions, especially by people like *name removed* and that stupid bastard *name removed*. Hopefully *name removed* will read this and take the hint.
