The thing is... If everyone was civil to each other, we would stay out of everything and nobody would even know we were here. The rules are simple: Don't post porn, don't dox, don't wave vulgar banners, and don't be a dick for the sake of being a dick. I'm not sure why that's so difficult for so many people, or why they don't understand that the squeaky wheels are ones that get the grease.

I can get behind the whole porn thing and doxxing but who cares if someone is being a dick? That should be something were someone just can ignore someone or fight their own battles. Once you start trying to make people be nicer to each other you might as well tuck us all in at night and read us bedtime stories. Actually bedtime stories sound kinda awesome. I want a bedtime story.

Everyone knows that Admin realizes s/he can't cause people to be nice and has no intention to try to. There are many levels of dickhood/dickdom: 1) Your common, everyday dick who's used to calling a perfect stranger a "moron", who says things like his followers are delusional and uninformed; then, 2) The dick who's promoted him/herself to more emotional and/or personal attacks - "What is it with you? Your woman left you for him?!

"; then, 3) The dick who comes to the site for no reason other than to poop the party, who initiates insulting threads and who chronically writes insulting posts against the site and its members; and, 4) The dick who threatens violence. Of the above dicks, IMHO, the last two are trolls and such should be disciplined.
