Dan, I wasn't taken aback by ferret legging, I was repelled and failed to see the humor. Since I am a regular contributor at Laughter and have tossed some rather raunchy ones in at that thread, I don't think that I can be said to lack or to have too delicate a sense of humor. I consider the stuff posted to that you have quoted here to be appalling, regardless of who posted them. Postings such as these and a number of yours on Sanity are the reason I usually do not post on threads like Sanity. There is more than enough venom and sheer nastiness in this world already; I do not feel the need to go out of my way to look for it. As for certain people being "my" pals, they treat me cordially and with respect and I behave the same toward them in return. However, I do not consider myself to have joined "the guys," no matter how ruthlessly I am shoved toward them and classed with them, nor am I going to answer for anyone's behavior except my own. When I am in the midst of a discussion or disagreement, I remain civil or I keep my fingers off the keyboard. I do not attack people personally nor do I sneer at and belittle them. If others do not feel similarly constrained, it is their affair and that of the thread at large. As for SI (Admin) Bob, I think that he has an extremely difficult job; although I have disagreed from time to time with individual decisions, on the whole, I think he does it very well. I suspect that the long-winded version of the terms of use came into being from all the requests for further clarification on threads such as Welcome. I find some of what is in the current version a bit weird, but it's an attempt at clarification.

From the Movie...Streisand and...Redford? "Memories light the corners of my mind. Misty water color memories Of the way we were. Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind, Smiles we gave to one another For the way we were. Can it be that it was all so simple then, Or has time rewritten every line? If we had the chance to do it all again, Tell me, would we? Could we? Memories may be beautiful and yet, What's too painful to remember We simply choose to forget. So it's the laughter... We will remember, Whenever we remember The way we were; The way we were."
