The New Rules Page

There will be more rules with the new Anti-Strib. It will have an island theme and I hope to foster an environment of friendly debate. Insults will be deleted and repeat offenders will be banned. This goes for posters as well as commenters. I will hold everyone with posting privileges to a much higher standard than the commenters. I will be the sole deciding authority, just assume that it will be a somewhat benign dictatorship.

  1. No insults
  2. No threats
  3. No picking on wives and kids
  4. No gay bashing
  5. Try to avoid profanity if possible
  6. If what you want to say is not nice, consider not posting.
  7. Remeber that your opponent has a brain too.
  8. If you are taking this too seriously, you need to get away for a while.
  9. If I ban you, a polite, private email asking why is fine. Online campaigns will result in longer/permanent bans.
  10. If you don’t like these rules, PLEASE LEAVE!

You can all start your own blog so you post here at my pleasure. I haven’t had much pleasure from the blog lately so mark this as your first warning.

Hopefully we build a quality blog that addresses current issues without the garbage that polluted the previous version.

New digs
written by Brent , May 28, 2009

I'm liking our new digs. One comment though...it seems that the space that I am writing my comment in is a light yellow, and the font is white....VERY hard to see what I'm writing here...is this an issue with my account settings of the page?

When I click OUT of the box, the background goes white and the font goes black.

My avatar shows up here too, How cool is that?
written by Margaret , May 28, 2009

There is a set limit to how SHORT a comment can be?


Webmaster
Short Limit?
written by Webmaster , May 28, 2009

Yes, set to 8 characters at the moment.

Is there a way
written by Margaret , May 28, 2009

is there a way to add our individual twitter feeds to the twitter stream? That would be kind of cool.

Now the resident shut-in (me) is not quite so "shut-in".
Many thanks, Duce.

Testing- Oh my comment is too short


Barthélemy Barbancourt
We can try the avatars
written by Il Duce’ , May 29, 2009

We were going to scrap them. I love the teal and white look, very tropical. Maybe the soothing colors will help some people relax.

Problem
written by tim-The Dyslexic Blogger , May 29, 2009

your use of the teal back ground is ok but you need to change the color that is used for hyperlinks in the posters names to take you to there web page needs to be a different color or it disapers

Arrrgghhh!

It's too soothing! At least throw in a pineapple or a coconut.

Titles
written by Kermit , May 29, 2009

Titles for the comments is extremely cool, however. It's kinda like the tags from the old site.

Nice But hard to read
written by Nobody , May 29, 2009

For us of the geezer type, the colors, while cool, are difficult.


Barthélemy Barbancourt
I was wondering about that
written by Il Duce’ , May 30, 2009

I think we'll try to shift to a back on white format for readability.


A. J.
I am all for that
written by A. J. , May 30, 2009

Black on white is far less fatiguing.


Webmaster
Bullshit
written by Webmaster , May 30, 2009

I'm old and decrepit and this is far easier on my eyes that the start black and white. STFU and give it a chance.


A. J.
Really? STFU?
written by A. J. , May 30, 2009

Come now! Did I just see profanity posted - in the Manifesto thread no less?

F bomb
written by Nobody , May 30, 2009

Duke, when it is reeeeealy needed can we drop the occasional F bomb? After all it is the only word in english that can be a noun, verb, ajective and adverb. As in; " The F'ing f'er is F'ing F'ed!"

LOL.. hey Nobody
written by MoonliteSonata , May 30, 2009

Did you ever see the movie "Boondock Saints"? There's a great scene in there where Rocko goes off like that, after the guys knocked off a room full of Russian mobsters.. and one of the nice Irish lads says "Well, he certainly proves the diversity of the word, now, doesn't he?"
Gods, that movie is so F'ing Awesomely Funny!
I recommend it to everyone. Best dark comedy pretty much ever!



Nobody
Oh Yeah
written by Nobody , May 31, 2009

Right on Moonie, a dark and funny flic. I lost a dear friend last week and we had a gathering. Since his humor was dark, we had a gas! Laughted my butt off. Very good time. A mutual friend came up and said " he'd look out and say; WTF are all these people doing here? Hell I just died and anybody can do that."

I'd like to state
written by Ben , May 31, 2009

that #1 and #6 do (or should ) not apply to me. Feel free to bash my "virginity" and so forth. I'm too easy of a target besides, it wouldn't be Anti-Strib without people insulting me constantly

Yeah, like that wasn't gonna happen anyway. Still, thanks for the go ahead, cherry boy.smilies/wink.gif

I'm gonna try reeeeeeeeeeeeal hard to be nice.
written by auntypsychotic , June 03, 2009

Duce,

I don't always do "nice" well and it's hard to resist responding when attacked but I will try. I'm getting pretty good at not going on-line when my lunacy flares up but I don't always notice how bad it is. Should I say something stupid or ugly, I apologize in advance. Please let me know as soon as you can and feel free to smack me about the head and shoulders. It's the only way I will get better at self-monitoring.



Barthélemy Barbancourt
You'll get smacked when appropriate
written by Il Duce’ , June 04, 2009

Everyone will.

written by Scott Wooldridge , June 22, 2009

Howdy folks. It appears I must get used to more change if I'm to frequent this website. Oh well, it's the era of hope and small change.
