Rule Change (New Staff Power)
RE: Rule Change (New Staff Power)
According to the urban dictionary, it is not intended as an insult but rather Australians just really like to nickname people, but they seem to find it amusing that people are offended by it.
I find the whole thing fascinating. I want to be nicknamed after a fruit. Murican is not a nice nickname. Give me something else. Angry

Obviously, you're talking about me. Tongue

You definitely fit the description of a rouge staff member, but then so do I.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

But now the place is my home and I wouldn't leave even if we got rules I didn't like. I've since read the rules but only just because I like being able to quote them when someone stupid or annoying is breaking or coming close to breaking them. Tongue
Well, I inadvertently violated some of the rules at AF that are specific to this site, like no posting links until you’ve been here for at least 30 days or always make a comment to go with your links so people can discuss it. If I had taken the time to read the rules, I would have known better.

As far as being disruptive, that’s a judgement call. It’s not a specific action, like calling somebody an asshole, but an overall result of one’s presence

How many of us would have to leave if there were specific rules about what we can and cannot say here?

Scene:
Staff: You broke a rule. Rhonda.
Rhonda: I did?
Staff: Yes, you broke rule #387.
Rhonda: Oh that. Well I didn’t know…
Staff: Ignorance of the rules is no excuse. You are responsible for knowing all the rules at AF.
Rhonda: Well, how many rules are there?
Staff: At last count, there were…
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

Can I ask, maybe as a special treat one time, if you might flush it first?

Pssst -- I think that was a code for something else from Rhonda.
