Alright, as MODERATOR of this forum, I feel I have to lay down a few ground rules.

Ground rule #1: From now on, within the confines of this particular sub-forum, I shall be refered to as "The Grand High Exalted Mystic Ruler."

Ground rule #2: Any violation of Ground rule #1 will result in the demand of a sincere apology.

Ground rule #3: Failure to comply with the stipulations put forth in Ground rule #2 will result in a stern threat by the Grand High Exalted Mystic Ruler.

Ground rule #4: Any derogatory comments made in reaction to the threat mentioned in Ground rule #3 will result in severe disappointment, and a far more vulgar threat.

Ground rule #5: Any future references of the Grand High Exalted Mystic Ruler as a "dick", a "pussy", a "fuck-face", a "rapscallion", a "shit-monger", a "shit-head", a "shit-foot", "a right bastard", a "poor dresser", a "steaming hot piece of horseshit", or any other derogatory term....will result in the reading of the riot act.

Ground rule #6: I will not tolerate any obscene language on this board, nor will I tolerate any posts that are meant to insult other valued members.

I'd also like to say that Monk is <<additional content deleted on the grounds of mild vulgarity and extreme incoherence>>!!!

My apologies to anyone who took a single word of this post seriously

-TW

I can't imagine this is at all serious

But we all have to think about whether what we say will worry the other members on the site (and this looks to be happening), and I personally have reasonable concerns about whether two people can have at each other so often and funny/aggressively without one of them, over time, starting to get genuinely hot under the collar about it.

So, take MG's advice for a bit, people: Chill.

PS Imagine if Itchy and Scratchy (from The Simpsons) was a real show. You'd watch it occasionally and it'd be very funny. Now watch episodes back to back. It was funnier when it was occasional, right?

You two are super funny tho.

Just a thought from your friendly neighbourhood administrator.

You make some excellant points, Tetserizer.

Apologies to anyone who was offended by any of this nonsense, and rest assured that neither of us is serious. I will add that if I'm wrong, and monk is serious, I will be forced to root him out like the gopher he is, and give him a severe dose of "what for."

If my posts ever get modified, there will be some serious asswhooping.

Yes,

Remember, kids, that myself and Tightwad are TRAINED in the art of using profanity and have undergone years of preparation and extensive safety precautions to be able to engage in such idly offensive banter.

Under no circumstances should anyone attempt to copy any of what we do in front of their mother-in-law, or use similar conversational bandits when addressing their schoolteacher, masseuse or bait supplier.

Additionally, nothing Tightwad writes should, due to it's offensive content and dubious quality, ever be viewed by anyone.

And one more thing, kids - winners don't use drugs.

We return to your regular programming...

Monk

LoL, dude, no worries, I don't plan on doing any more post-mods other than my own

I should mention that the most recent modification to Monk's post was, in fact, by him.

My intimidation techniques seem to work.

I briefly considered changing the word "work" in your post to "wank"...but my ass has been bloodied enough at the 3-6 tables today, and I don't really think it could take another whooping.

I'm jealous of all these mods. Is there a way to make me a super-mod so I can override any other mod? Make it happen tetsuo.

Well I for one intend to rise above all this
