Up yours asswipe. ~~ Time to update the rules? Please enjoy our forum, but also please remember to use common courtesy when posting and refrain from posting personal attacks, profanity, vulgarity,

The Banning of Quidnunc elevated the average IQ of the entire Forum in one fell swoop. Best FR News in weeks. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Besides which, "Ass" is a King James Bible Word. There are several passages of Scripture I couldn't even post without employing the term.

Are you saying that Jim Robinson should Ban himself for once using the word coarsely, on his own Forum, in ejecting a Gun-Controlling Jack-Boot like Quidnunc?

How did quidnunc lower the IQ of the forum? I haven't followed his posts.

Ban himself? Hardly.

As to banning quidnunc, or anyone else, I would like to know why, but that didn't prompt my question. JR owes no explanation, although I think it would help his site.

Profanity - that violates the forum rules, no?

I think he is saying, and I agree with my interpretation, that the rule about not posting profane personal attacks on others is a good one, one that deserves to be reinforced, even if the founder finds himself breaking it from time to time (as many people do).

It may make people feel good to hurl an invective at someone, but the important thing was the banning, not the comment (which quidnunc may not have seen, being banned and all).

I doubt he’s calling for a banning.
