Goddamnit, mouthbreather. Shit, call me a yahoo, will ya. Hell, _you’re_ the guy from freakin’ Atlanta. And I (well, my company) bought you drinks and a sandwich even. What the hell happened to that “southern hospitality?” And don’t **ever** spill my drink again, or I’ll wring you out of here like a filthy bar rag. ---

There has to be, or what would be the purpose of a warning? If we find your next offense to be egregious enough, your only warning may be that message that says “You’ve been banned,” when you try to submit your post. I suggest you try a bit harder to play by our rules. M’kay? Oooh! A meta-warning! Manhattan deleted one of my posts once (along with several other posts, including the ones mine were responding to) in a GQ thread that veered off into Great Debates territory once. (And no, it wasn’t about drugs.) I _think_ the severed horse’s head that I found in my bed that night was totally unrelated, though. ---

I’ve been told not to post certain kinds of links by **manny** (which wasn’t on purpose, as I’ve said now at least three times), and Lynn requested in email that I change my sig. And UncleBeer told me not to get so bent up over hijacked threads, though I suspect that was just fatherly advice op something. ---

Lotsa people here sayin’, “I didn’t exactly get a warning, but I did get chastised/told off/locked off/deleted/edited/asked to change my sig…” So…it’s not a real warning unless it SAYS “warning”…or something…um, right??? Well, in the second incident I told about, the Admin didn’t exactly SAAAAAAY the word “warning.” That means I’m down to one! Ha, ha, in yo’ face UncleBeer! 😃 (Way to tell 'em off, **mouthbreather**! 😃 ) ---

Why the HELL are all of you posting this CRAP in my forum?!? If I want to read this kind of drivel from the Teeming Minions I’ll put on my hip-boots and wade into the BBQ Pit. OFFICIAL WARNING: If I ever see this kind of excrement on the IMHO again, I’m banning the whole lot of you! Y’all happy now? 😉 ---

Damn it Czarcasm…you scared 'em all off. Or maybe that was the intent? (;)Still chuckling over **mouthbreather** ’s rant – will probably think of it every time I see a Mod’s or Admin’s name from now on.) ---

I haven’t been warned, exactly (I’m still a newbie), but Manny keeps closing threads immediately after I post to them in GQ. I sort of take that as a hint. ---

Please, do forgive **Czarcasm**. He’s such a dear but so often cranky with pain since the surgery, y’know. They missed a few staples and they _drift_ to sensitive places. ::smiles gently, chillingly; like a sociopathic nanny:: WHOSE forum, sonny? Now drink your codeine and here’s your doughnut pillow. Ah, ah! Put down the whip! Let Auntie Veb handle this… These small _corrections_ are necessary sometimes, hmmm? And you know what they say, it hurts us more than it hurts you. Oh, piffle. “They” are idiots; the black leather and handcuffs weren’t clues? I’m so glad we had this little discussion. Veb [sub]For the humor impaired, Czar is a total hoot to work with and as far as I know, he’s never had surgery in his life. The whips and black leather thing, though…[/sub] ---

Actually, I’ve NEVER been warned. (But look at my post count; THAT could have something to do with it.) But I bet I just drew one for the rant I went on in GD. Worth it, though. Wish WallyM7 were here. Nobody could “putz” ‘em like he could, and these jokers needed a dam’ good “putzing”. ---
