    Default Altering quotes

    Going forward, we are asking that members no longer alter any other members quotes, even if it is abundantly clear. Not every person realizes they were altered and not every member is fond of allowing such.

    Please, report any posts where this may occur going forward.

    Edited to add: Members CAN still shorten another members post, if necessary. Removing of a video so that it doesn't load over and over. Lots of reasons to shorten a post.

Need I say more?” - Chris Rock

    Wait, let's go back to this "Rule Change" crap. I have to avoid vulgarity? Damn, I'm screwed.

    I think we're too far gone for that one. When the owner spews filth out of his mouth (or I'm a potty mouth as Perianne says), then it's hard to reign in that one. Guilty as charged.

    Of course not. It's the squeaky wheel rule.

    I don't say bad words, but I don't try to stop other people from saying them. Well, except for dates. But changing quotes makes a butt out of you and me.

    I'm sorry that you're overly sensitive.

    Who's crying? Whining knuckleheads have been further identified. Great job of not posting examples though.

    Well, I can 'post' one.

    Or, to put it another way, FJ, I can leave YOU to post 'one'. In fact, you keep on doing it, post after post ...

    Take a look at the identifier you post. It says 'fj1200', doesn't it ?

    OK. Now, look at the single word that appears directly beneath 'fj1200'. What does it say ?

    Hint: previously, it said 'Ultimate Thatcherite', and later, 'The One True Thatcherite'.

    I take it my point is made.
    It's That Bloody Foreigner Again !!!
