6. It's called "General Discussion", and like most things in life it has rules and guidelines.

You chose to ignore those rules and guidelines, and it appears you're doing it again so expect this to get locked too.

[NM_Birder]

14. interesting responses, "just follow the rules displayed before you"

can't see that philosophy all that much in General Discussion. So you are an advocate of strict adherence to the rules set by those in ownership ?

is that regardless, or just here ? Slippery to apply that in the workplace, unless you advocate keeping quiet and march on.

[In_The_Wind]

16. You've explained the situation perfectly.

As usual.

[NM_Birder]

23. Another one that agrees with, "the owners game, follow the rules"

I wonder, do you agree with this "I's my creation, so to be a part of it you will follow my rules without fail"
I bet you apply that unevenly.

[In_The_Wind]

28. Sometimes I follow the rules, sometimes I break 'em.

[NuclearDem]

19. Oh, so there's actually backstory to this?

[snooper2]

9. how many times do they have to tell you "ministers only" ?

[NM_Birder]

11. Best just to follow and obey. play the game.

[snooper2]

15. could be super serious this is a WEBSITE!

Oh, and did you know you shouldn't buy cars that were engineered by fucking hamsters?

[NM_Birder]

21. it's the song, it hypnotizes people into buy crap thinking it's a diamond.

but at least they can feel better than others.

12. Son of PUMA? I dub thee ODMA! nt

[NM_Birder]

20. what is a PUMA and/or ODMA ?

[LanternWaste]

13. Your martyrdom is noted.

Your martyrdom is noted.

One suggestion: constructing a somewhat more creative and imaginative cross to hang yourself from as you advertise your oppression may allow far more people to believe you in fact, rational.

[NM_Birder]

18. LOL, that was beautifully stated.

it got the laugh you were going for, but the wager is you don't have a second suggestion.

[LanternWaste]

24. I rarely give second suggestions to an absurd premise.

[NuclearDem]

17. STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM

[Trajan]

22. You are completely free ....

To start your own website, and make whatever rules you want ....

You could go on and on and on about your many persecutions ...

[NM_Birder]

25. LOL, you guys are jammin my post count.

and at the same time, proving that it is unacceptable to question things owned privately.

you want to be a member ? Obey or be gone.
you'll see the irony, maybe not today, but you'll remember this.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

29. two points...

1) i find it cute that you're worried about your post count
2) no, no one will remember this

sP

[NM_Birder]

30. ok,

1 you missed the point of the post count comment, and not everything I said was meant for you. but if you want to join our private conversation I'll give you a referral.

2 I didn't really think this many people would care about it NOW, let alone remember it, sometime betting on the wildcard pays off. It proved my point how quickly the rush to judge and finger point would be.

Even though you were not aware that I have live friends to interact with, you helped me. So, thanks, I guess.
