Yeah, you base your decisions on FST rules. I shall henceforth do likewise.

No wait, I won't. I shall say what I want and object when I think someone is out of order. Yes, that seems like a better idea.

I didn't see that coming.

Good god, hobbes. I'd have about three posts if I took rule four at its apparent meaning.

Those two sentence above could, conceivably, cause you offence because I'm being sarcastic.


We don't have active mods who enforce even a faint semblance of the general forum rules. At least not in the lounge.

Things seem to be going okay with the current self regulation - a group of people talking about whatever they want. We haven't had a hissy fit since Yogi left.

Which is actually a bad thing because it was teh funny.

If you had presumably you would have avoided wasting so much time on the trite diatribe.

Yes, but I think it was honestly hurtful to Yogi, the real Yogi, not the forum Yogi and that is not funny.

This is a place to get away from real problems not to inflict real pain, which you guys did.

not the forum Yogi, that is not funny

agreed

He came back, how feckin' hurt do you think he was. He was the one who said he had new, better chums when he "left forever".

Oh, maybe this forum is so vital to him that he is willing to put up with people thinking he is a sad, puerile wastrel.

If so, that's his choice, not yours.

I feel pretty sad that we made a 46 year old man cry.

I changed your post to suggest that the Welsh lad was your middle aged, Frankenstinian, poove creation.

I trust you don't mind.

Quite possibly, I have caused other members to feel upset too. In fact, I think it likely.

Some people choose to post about their personal situations and invite comments, others do not. If you're the type of person in the former group and one of the opinions hurts you, then perhaps put it down to it being part of growing up and not bother again.

None of my comments are made with the intention to hurt someone's feelings - that doesn't give me any pleasure - but trying to temper any comments I make to be absolutely sure that it doesn't happen is impossible.

I will, however, continue to use a modicum of discretion.

[JPaul]

I, on the other hand, aim to wound.

It's a larf.
