New Rules
After this week’s episode of News Group Wars: Attack of the Ranjini. I have decided that the only way to restore order is to introduce 3 rules for posting
Rule 1. No Name calling, all this name calling has to stop, even calling people by there given or chosen name on the NG is no longer acceptable, so from now on everyone will be known by a number. As numbering people differently might make some people think they are better than others everyone will be number 1. So conversations might go “Hi 1, this is 1, don’t you think 1 is a moron!�
Rule 2. No Opinions, all this giving your opinions is the main cause of problems so instead of saying “it’s a nice day today� which is subjective and an opinion you must say “it was 80 degrees and sunny today� which is fact based and cannot be disputed.
Rule 3. Be nice to each other, instead of writing "Patrick. Your a ****ing prick. You get a kick out of annoying people, correcting people and being a doss *****. You have to argue everything, you have to be right, I bet you wont even need a ****ing lwayer when your wife divorces you because you'll be telling the judge what the score is.You dumb, bald, charmless ****." put “I tend to disagree with you on that point old chap� – of course that could be considered as an opinion which are banned under rule 2, so that’s no good!
I would ask what you think but opinions are banned under Rule 2, if you don’t like it you can’t let me know as you have to be nice and can’t call me (or anyone) a name

Rule 2 however is extremely workable although very dull, if everyone adhered to rule 2 the newsgroup would close withing a period of weeks. Again this is a fact not opinion, you may disagree with it if you like but you will need proof, as an opinion no longer counts.
Rule 3, unfortunately I am unable to tell you how truly wonderful I think you are and that the sun shines out of your perfectly sized and proportioned bottom, since it is an opinion and I am no longer able to voice those.
The sun shined today for a little while and then it rained, now it is merely wet. I made pancakes for my children for dinner and filled in lots of forms, which I cannot tell you how dull they were.

Fact: Today I didn't get my green card.
because...
Fact: Yesterday I got my green card
Fact: It's no bloody use.
because...
Fact: I will be old and grey before I get my SSN.
No opinion will be expressed here owing to obscenity laws.
Objection: Calling everyone 1 is outrageous prejudice against schizophenics.

Right, Rule number 1 is ok in the respect of name calling - I think it is pathetic that people call each other names and very childish. However calling everyone Number 1 is pathetic too!
Rule number 2 - not being able to express your opinions is outrageous. If the swearing and name calling could be taken out of the equation then opinions are ok. Thats what everyone who visits here wants isnt it???? Advise - opinions is the same thing?
Rule number 3 is ok - being nice to people - well there isnt anything wrong with that! Swearing - well I swear at times but there is a time and place for it and it isnt here.
I am relatively new here, and have enjoyed reading peoples views etc, but i dont come here to see the "F" word and "C" word! And by the way before you say anything I am no way a prude - I can swear just as much as anyone!!!
Do you realise how childish you seem.
I wont apologise for expressing my opinion!:lecture:

Poor old Patrick - no one ever seems to get where he's coming from. The poor guy makes a joke to try to make things lighten up after all the..... &^$(&^$)&$.....
He was teasing, people!
It's called humour.
It seems to be a little like a French steak at the moment - so rare it's bloody!
ngh! and ermph!
No rainforests were destroyed during the writing of this message though I am about to do serious damage to a tobacco plant.
ANNNNND.... However paranoid the reader of this message, it is not aimed at YOU!
:P

I don't know what to do. I am (obviously) sarcastic on Rob's thread and ripped to ribbons by Darren. I am subtley ironic on this thread and people don't get it!
What about
"Two priests decided to go to Hawaii on vacation. They were determined to make this a real vacation by not wearing anything that would identify them as clergy. As soon as the plane landed, they headed for a store and bought some really outrageous shorts, shirts, sandals, sunglasses, etc.
The next morning, they went to the beach, dressed in their "tourist" garb.
They were sitting on beach chairs, enjoying a drink, the sunshine and the scenery when a "drop dead gorgeous" topless blonde in a thong bikini came walking straight towards them. They couldn't help but stare. As the blonde passed them, she smiled and said
"good morning, Father, good morning, Father", nodding and addressing each of them individually, then passed on by. They were both stunned. How in the world did she know they were priests?
So the next day, they went back to the store and bought even more outrageous outfits. These were so loud you could hear them before you even saw them.
Once again the two priests in mufti settled on the beach in their
chairs to enjoy the sunshine. After a while, the same gorgeous topless blonde, wearing a string, taking her sweet time, came walking toward them.
Again she nodded at each of them, said "good morning, Father" and started to walk away. One of the priests couldn't stand it any longer and said. "Just a minute young lady." Yes?" she replied. "We are priests, and proud of it, but I have to know, how in the world did you know we are priests dressed as we are?"
"Father, it's me, Sister Angela," she replied. "
OK, how about that, anyone not see that as a joke, pure and simple. I haven't tried to be sarcastic, ironic, subtle or even tried to use wit.
Its just a joke - does anyone want to read anything else into it - maybe as a catholic I am rebelling against the church with this joke therefore hate George Bush and want all americans to burn in hell?
Maybe the joke means I don't like Nuns and thus think that all people from Wales are stupid, maybe it has something to do with topless women = reads the sun = don't like posh people = hate people with brown hair who wear green shirts on a tuesday and like BLT sandwiches. Possibly this joke has overtones relating to me having problems with IT guys from Pompey!
It seems whatever I write someone reads something completly different into it - I am a happy person who does not take life that seriously, my posts are never meant to be mean, judgemental or hurt anyones feelings so why do people read things that aren't there into them. I don't call people names (although I am sarcastic), I am a pedantic SOB though but that is because my job means I have to make 200% things that leave the office are correct and use the same logic when posting, if you lie to someone I will correct you - its a character trait - get over it and live with it.
Maybe this posting is a cry for help because I a homosexual trapped in the body of a test engineer.
Beam me up Scotty!

PS It is very difficult to write this from a hospital bed, boy are you a lousy shot Rob, 16 bullets to the head and you missed my brain by almost 6 feet!
