LOL!

I have been just fine, TYVM.

Well, I was trying to equate the whiners who agree to JimRob's rules, get a screen name, break the rules, and then get banned to the adolescent behavior characteristic of, among others, the Klintoon Gang.

May or may not have been appropriate, but it struck me, at the time, as a good analogy.

Kind like I used to tell my children when they were 18+ and wanted to revise the rules: "This is my house. As long as you live in my house, whatever your age, you will live by my rules! If you don't like the rules, leave the house."

Fortunately, they never tested the absolute edge of that envelope! They took me at my word and, generally, behaved.

Likewise, when FReepers obey JimRob's house rules, they get to stay. When they break the rules, they have to leave. That works for me!

OMG! I said this to MY daughter, almost word for word.

Is it something that is implanted into one's brain as soon as the head is crowning?
