It was mentioned to me so what are the rules here.

Be interesting to see what people here think.

etiquette  - spelling is an important etiquette.

if you are going to cite a claim, post a link otherwise don't cry when you are called a liar

Or hide away like Smith did in the infamous 5 Dogs topic, when Gordon and Lisa proved he and Mothra were imbeciles without a clue.
Smith scurried away in silence when his butt was kicked.
Doesn't have the balls to admit when he's wrong.
Just a useless troll of the Forum.

According to IQ in Sparta -

Smith got kicked out of school when he was 15 for being a dunce.

just don't forget to put your dentures in when you do

**whips out dentures - holds them top with fingers, bottom with thumb, and bites Smith on the arm with a quick jab**



….. the notes of the last stanza finish and fade away in the silence of the near empty Tavern … the piano player stands and gently closes the fallboard...... still whistling the haunting tune, he walks quietly to the bar … Rocky pours him a drink of his usual....

“What was that song, Vincent?”, he asks, putting the glass in front of the player....

“Vincent!”, replies the player....

“Well – I know -but what was the song you just played?”

“That was it -  Vincent.  You'll remember it when I say the words.... (repeats in a kind of sing song)....  Starry, starry night, portraits hung in empty halls, nameless men on nameless walls, with eyes that watch the world and can't forget – like the strangers that you've met, the ragged men in ragged clothes, the silver thorn, the bloody rose, lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.”

“Oh, yeah – THAT Vincent.”

Vincent sings the last bit... “Now I think I know, what you tried to say to me, and how you suffered for your sanity – they would not listen, they're not listening still – perhaps they never will.”

“Yeah”, said Rocky, “That sums up a lot around here.  I mean, look at this lot... you could discuss the deeper meanings of life, show them that all the hoo-faroo just wasn't making the grade, and give them directions to the easy road of – I dunno – just some kind of peaceful gentle understanding and knowledge of life – and a lot of 'em just wouldn't know what you were talking about”.

“Yep, that about sums it up.  Lot of people just don't see what's in front of them – how someone sort of shows caring and such by DOING and giving – not with flowers grown in bullshit and flowery words to go with those.  I dunno – just the human condition.  Anyway – I've got a couple of little things to wrap here – wrap up kinda like one of those Russian babushka dolls – the Russian wife used to talk about those... I guess she was smart and crazy all at once.”

“Aren't they all.. aren't they all.”

“You said it, bro.”

I think we should be a little more positive.

It’s a forum.

Not a place to launch personal attacks, particularly in groups aimed at one individual.

They are working hard to stamp that  bullying behaviour out in kindergartens so if you are a little older maybe  not displaying that in your online persona?

The use of certain swear words is to be condemned.

The F word isn’t appropriate and C word should result in a immediate banning.

Can we not just talk and debate and discuss in fine fashion without lowering ourselves to the standards of our politicians in parliament?

I'm all for it, I respect your offer and will treat you accordingly.

Hence why that obnoxious imbecile Monk is now banned for a month ;D

There are no rules in this place. It is somewhere that people who are most likely quite normal in reality can let themselves go in the anonymity of cyberspace.  :P

Indeed - we must be careful about the way Uncle Fred mounts his wife on her horse... such things are easily misunderstood..
