Uh-Oh! Close reading of the DU rules spells trouble for many of us
Edited on Mon Aug-04-08 11:53 PM by Kurt_and_Hunter
From the rules:

"Do not post messages that are inflammatory, extreme, divisive, incoherent, or otherwise inappropriate."


So now we're supposed to make sense? That's setting the bar a little high, Mods.


"They came for the incoherent, but I made sense so I did nothing..."

11. All my posts are incoherent. Everyone who's incoherent in the opposite way can understand me.
They've got a built-in demystifier.

I say that if we persevere we'll become the majority!! YAY!!!

13. Might this post be inflammatory or extreme?
To think of some of us as inflammatory or extreme? Perhaps it is divisive or inappropriate to do so? Yet I do not find it incoherent.

But there is that guy thing about reading instructions and rules, you know!
