Two Rule Updates

Meh.  As long as I can continue to refer to all religions as horseshit it doesn't concern me.

Are you the only sane person on this entire fucking forum? I swear to God...

Having recently - through the good offices of Steel Curtain - been elevated to the fairly enviable position of Smacker Of Whiny Little Bitches, I would like to assure the Forum that I take this responsibility seriously.  To that end:

If you said, "I'm in a relationship with Johnny and he likes to pretend he's a moose during sex." you're an asshole, but you're not doxxing, unless no one knows Johnny's real name. If Johnny isn't a member, no one knows shit about him still.

In both those cases, it wouldn't be a rule violation.

In both those cases, it wouldn't be a rule violation.

However, if you said, 'Johnny Carstairs, that short bloke with the pointed beard who is the assistant manager at Unpainted Widgets Limited - the location on Elm Drive, not the one on Main Street - is TOTALLY into moose-play', you'd be bounced out of here so fast the air would crackle. And rightly so.

What if I said that Boru is a notorious sheep-shagger?

So you can talk about your relationship with Johnny even if he is a member of the forum? And you can call him by his name if he had disclosed it on the forum himself?

I'm fairly sure that it has to be something most people don't already know...

Suffice it to say I'm not, there's no need for that.

Never mind my previous questions.
