600066	2007-10-11 16:40:00	Woohoo . . . . . . . . . all it took was mention of WMG to get the ball rolling . :lol: you got it :lol: Do you charge around social gatherings insisting people only speak in a manner and on subjects as dictated by you? :thumbs: :D Deane hit it on the head: Windows is better than Mac OS for one simple reason - I run it, everybody I know runs it and 95% of people that buy personal computers run it . Pete also hit it right: If you dont like the arguments then don't read the threads, Its that simple . I don't even mind RoddyBoy saying Have you not seen the way some of the "regulars" slaughter the English language? because we all learn a thing or two about our language, usually in a humorous way .

Flip it over, see how retarded it is, How silly would it look to you if I insisted everyone had to act like a baboon in order to suit me and those that enjoy my posts. Mountains and molehills, Do you charge around social gatherings insisting people only speak in a manner and on subjects as dictated by you? Yet again, Metla hits the nail on the head. An internet forum is a community. Good communities tolerate difference. Exceptional communities embrace it.	Deane F (8204)
600071	2007-10-11 18:52:00	Except, we can all act like normal, civil people (with the exception of Melta) Not all of us find it so easy to be a baboon.	--Wolf-- (128)
600072	2007-10-11 19:14:00	normal Who defines this word for a community?	Deane F (8204)
600073	2007-10-11 20:11:00	Except, we can all act like normal, civil people (with the exception of Melta) Not all of us find it so easy to be a baboon. I will change my thingy at once after that.	Cicero (40)
600074	2007-10-11 20:20:00	Who defines this word for a community? Well technically -- and I know some of you think its waste of time and like King Canute trying to hold back the tide -- the site owner does with the rules, which are a social contract. All users have to click, saying they agree to abide by the rules when they sign up. And those rules include: 1) Keep it friendly: If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything. If you feel a thread or post is offensive do not respond in kind. Use the Report this post link to alert a moderator. Personal attacks on members, moderators or staff will not be tolerated and may result in immediate cancelling of forum membership. Now that's a rule that's really only loosely stuck too, and many posters obviously feel it should be more intensively enforced, while others fell its a silly nanny-state rule that restricts their right to freedom of speech. So the mods have to try and navigate a line somewhere in between. But the intention is to keep the forum a place where people of all viewpoints and um ... emotional levels, can feel reasonably comfortable. And that isn't possible if you take the breaks off and turn it into bar room brawl because that isn't an atmosphere that many people will want	Biggles (121)
