I dream of a day where people aren't made uncomfortable by the word "boobs" being said in an innocuous context.
Moreover, if I made you uncomfortable, I apologize for that. But I'm also certain that your opinion on the matter is hardly indicative of the general opinion. If it is, show me a little consensus (be it logs or all y'all posting saying "you're a freak dude" in response to this post) and I'll happily swallow my own foot.
I refuse to abide by
unwritten rules; the rules as written are vague beyond reason. Additionally, being subject to the arbitrary judgement of a small handful of in such matters individuals isn't to my liking, especially when the handful of individuals has the collective maturity of a 7 year old with a biology textbook and a Sharpie - not trying to justify, merely making an observation.
And I'm going to belabor this point. See,
"don't be a dick" and
"the staff are always right" (Paraphrasing. Boom.) aren't rules. Those are barely guidelines. Sure, I can respect the
spirit of the message, "be excellent to each other" and all that, but there is no substance there. It isn't stated anywhere that there's a G-rating required for general chatting, or that art has to be drawn or sketched. It isn't stated that there are forbidden topics, or that mistakes in posting caused by a shitty phone are still grounds for a ban. In essence,
the "rules" as they are written are no better than
"do as we say or GTFO". So really, why not make those the rules and save a hundred characters of text?
But I digress, it is of little consequence that you removed me for two main reasons. The first is that I could easily circumvent the ban should the need arise, and there is little you could do to stop me short of banning every new person to join (not that I actually care enough to put the effort required in at this point, seeing as there is no one in the chat who I'd actually care to talk to). And the second, and more important point, is that you have demonstrated something telling of the state of the community: I'm in the dinosaurs category and really don't belong here any longer. Of course I've known that for some time, but no one really likes to admit they're old. So I thank you for that insight, such as it is.
