Hey, I warned everyone. I said I was grouchy!

About the language...yes, I can understand people are offended by the f word. I am also. I very rarely use it. But, when I'm quoting someone else, I don't edit what they say. That's just not right.

However, expecting us to communicate as tho we are at the Ladies Tea Room and Fainting Hangout...not realistic. If I don't like the way someone talks, I just ignore it. I think it would be very presumptuous of me to require everyone else to communicate in a manner that I find acceptable.

Hey, watch this; I'm gonna show ya'll how smart I am. Some folks would take high umbrage at language restrictions, and start screaming about 1st Amendment rights. Guess what? I don't do that because...this board is not a government board. It is the private property of JR, the owner. He sets the standard.

Way too many concernfags, if you ask me. Hey, I know! Let's ban pearls!!!!

It seems like the messenger is being shot.

I don’t equate following board rules with “...expecting us to communicate as tho we are at the Ladies Tea Room and Fainting Hangout...” Your comment re “not realistic” seems to be a point of contest best directed at the board owner.

“I don’t edit what they say. That’s just not right.”

It seems like you are insisting that your rules for posting on FR must displace the board owner’s rules, and that those who don’t realize this are at fault.

I’m not a concernfag, I just want to protect the thread from being locked, and protect the site from posting things that could be used against it by the derps.
