>> Again, I seem to need much more explicit definition about what the 'community standards' on these various boards, demand.

I wish I were skilled enough to make you understand what's wrong with your behavior convincingly enough to help you make yourself welcome on the many threads that have ejected you. I tried, on Voltaire's Porch, by re-writing the header to read:

This is a safe house where friends of Voltaire can meet to discuss any topic that tickles their fancy.
If you're not a friend of Voltaire's, you're on the wrong thread.
If you prefer stabbing folks to tickling them, you're on the wrong thread.
If you prefer obscenity and confrontation to polite discourse, you're on the wrong thread.



Substitute the name, "Uncle Frank", for "Voltaire" and you should be able to get the idea. But since 100 regulars on the Porch had to shut it down and move to a moderated site just to get rid of you, I have no hope you'll respond any better here. Amazingly, even Yahoo had to ban you to maintain their abysmal level of community standards.

In the past few weeks you've accused me of being a egomaniacal, sexist, racist, demigod (3 out of 4 isn't bad), and then in a post guaranteed to charm, characterized me as a stuffy old a$$hole without even using one of those grinie thingies. I've tired of your transparent disingenuousness, Bonnuss, and frankly hope you'll take your Bony Uss somewhere else. As far as I'm concerned, you're as welcome here as a case of flatulence at a cocktail party, and not nearly as excusable.

Folks, or should I say, Goons, this lady thrives on attention, positive or negative. This will be my last post to her. Free to play her game, but keep in mind that putting out a bowl of milk for a twisted feral cat will just keep it coming back to your house.
