The French are pussies. I think God they kicked my people out else we'd be grouped in with 'em.

As I've said before, it's fine with me if standards are tighteded. BUT you've got to TELL people that will happen. Then enforce the standards with some consistency. If it weren't for the inconsistency in this issue, I'd grant your argument.

I couldn't agree with you more. Yes, I know that sounds very strange coming from me but I've just gotten back from a very strange place and I don't think it's all gotten rubbed off yet.<g> Anyway, I remember when I first joined SI. There was a clear line in which you just didn't cross. There wasn't this fuzzy/maybe/kinda/sorta crap. You knew where you stood and if you stood on the wrong side, you got your ass handed to you.

There are some people who can say just about anything their little 'ol heart desires and others that if they just imply something get busted. The logic in all this is very skewed.

If guys want to slap each other around and act like dopes calling each other names, then that's fine...

but ....the Poet thread went way beyond proper.
