Make up your own rules for GD
Mine:

- Posting while nekkid is for Wednesdays only.

- Putting another DUer on ignore must be accompanied by a corresponding, "Nah nah nah! I can't hear you."

- All insults must be done in Shakespearean form: "Thou art totally wrong, thou fobbing, sheep-biting moldwarp!

http://www.ariel.com.au/jokes/Shakespearean_Insults.html



Add yours to the list

6. My Fox News rule
- Douchebags who post "Do we REALLY need to read that here? WHY do you feel the need to post that on DU, even though DU is a political discussion Website, because I choose to not want to see any MENTION of Fox, even though I roam from thread to thread like the little cowardly douchebag that I am, complaining and asking people if it is really necessary to post things I prefer not to see, bringing NOTHING to the discussion other than my complete lack of self-esteem and pitiful control issues"...

...THESE hopeless fucks IMMEDIATELY go on my ignore list. I used to poke their worthless asses with a stick before I said goodbye but my new rule is that I am simply going to put them on ignore.

Then I'm gonna go buy a six pack and visit their MOTHER.

7. Nekkind Wednesdays? Fine.. as long as webcams aren't involved.
I also think there should be a rule that says I am right and everyone has to agree with me. That should make things simple. :evilgrin:

11. If you have an opinion you feel is "dissenting,"
...and you say as much in the OP, you must apologize after the 50th "hell yeah!" post for pretending your opinions were being oppressed. :D

20. Every day is nekkid Wednesday, as far as I'm concerned...
number 2 seems to already be in effect. How many times have we read "Oh, I see Ignored has posted" or "So many Ignoreds in this thread!". I thought the purpose of Ignore was to actually ignore a poster :)

26. Every day is 420
Most of the arguments would disappear. New ones would emerge about whether we exist, and if so, hot dogs or hamburgers

29. Here's a new idea for a rule:
One day a week, let's say Thursday, rec or un-rec posts strictly on the merits of the post, not whether or not one finds the message therein agreeable to one's sensibilities. Just for kicks.

...about 1/7 of my current activity.

37. Create a new Douchebag Wingnut Forum
as the new home for all posts about the latest offensive bullshit uttered by the like of Beck, Limbaugh, and Malkin.

If I really cared what those idiots thought, I'd go read their websites instead of coming here.
