Re: Sloopy - pushing limits
You know...I've given a lot of thought to the subject of offensive, off topic replies, self appointed moderators, humor based on immature gestures and disruptive posting to kill topics and abuse the topic author for humor, etc., etc., blah blah blah.......<br /><br />The truth is, we all can just about say anything we want here and the only ramification is our own self respect and the respect we earn from others.<br />Some find being anonymous an opportunity to jeer and conjoin with other members to satisfy their own intellectual shortcomings.....such as calling people names and using foul language as a way to insult....WE ALL KNOW THE WORDS....just, some of us don't need to use them to get our point across or to get that "shock" attention that some of you seem to need so badly.<br /><br />I have also come to realize that age is not a factor here...there are members that are acting more immature than their immature counterparts who come by it naturally...their age.<br /><br />For those that seem to want to be a free spirits and not follow any decorum.....I say to you.....you are only "a legend in your own mind".....the rest of us don't care!<br /><br />With all of that said, I have to admit to enjoying some banter and even Snoopy's goofy remarks from time to time. If this were all technical and no humor was added...it wouldn't be as much fun and a lot of us would not be here as much as we are. <br />I assume that is why Admin5 lets most all of the questionable topics and posts find their own "level".<br /><br />For those who don't know......<br /><br />Main Entry: de·co·rum <br />Pronunciation: di-'kOr-&m, -'kor-<br />Function: noun<br />Etymology: Latin, from neuter of decorus<br />Date: 1576<br />1 : literary and dramatic propriety : FITNESS<br />2 : propriety and good taste in conduct or appearance<br />3 : ORDERLINESS<br />4 plural : the conventions of polite behavior <br /><br />Main Entry: con·join <br />Pronunciation: k&n-'join, kän-<br />Function: verb<br />Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French conjoindre, from Latin conjungere, from com- + jungere to join -- more at YOKE<br />Date: 14th century<br />transitive senses : to join together (as separate entities) for a common purpose<br />intransitive senses : to join together for a common purpose <br /><br />Main Entry: self-re·spect <br />Pronunciation: -ri-'spekt<br />Function: noun<br />Date: circa 1814<br />1 : a proper respect for oneself as a human being<br />2 : regard for one's own standing or position
