These COFFEE CHOP (chop is intended) boards were - as you told the feelings thread- free from police interference.  You let amazing things go by- and NOW, you step in to be Miss Manners.   WELL- I can't talk to CHORN because I have no idea what YOU YOU YOU allow anymore- I don't even have any idea why TAKE IT LIKE A MAN (which I picked up from CHORN's OWN POST- is VERBOTEN.  I suggest- if you wish to pursue this insanity of a morals code for posting - that you EXPLICITLY state it so it isn't handled in this bizarre and highly personal way.

I don't want to see any more of those "take it like a man" posts.      Regards,      SI Admin (Bob)      my response:      WOW- you better tell CHORN that since C HORN is the one who said      MYTHMAN should TAKE IT LIKE A MAN.      Boy you are really getting weird, SI is really getting weird..      I'm posting your note to the thread- so they can see what you want- since I had NO      idea that would violate the terms of use- or should I say YOUR personal terms of use.      You are the big CHILL of free speech. You really ought to kill the thread if you are      this uptight about it.      Good for you. I won't post there anymore. I think you are making really bad decisions      lately; maybe you need a less stressful job.      So people I am OUT of here- who can say what the TOU means when it means      whatever Big Bob says it means? I am not interested in trying to read his mind      as to what is appropriate on this thread, or any other (what have I posted      here? 10/15 posts max?- and lately I only replied when posted to)- when SO      much is SO inappropriate everywhere else. Go figure, or not. It's not worth      any more of my time. But may I just add SI sucks lately. NO REGARDS
