To me, it sounded like just a general statement about not posting mindless junk in the Pit while drunk, not an overarching “do not post while drunk” command. Then again, I haven’t posted while drunk in way too long. ---

FWIW, I didn’t really mind. I didn’t even remember posting it until after the thread was closed. At least there was no official warning attached. Thanks again for your support 😉 Cheers ---

Eh, while I’m here please also let me apologize to **Lynn**. I’ve posted far worse stuff while drunk, but this is still embarressing. ---

Wasn’t that more like, “Don’t Post While Tripping On Mushrooms Unless You Can Do It Without Rambling On and On About It Incoherently and Making Everybody Hate You?” I take this as more of a blanket “Don’t Ramble On and On Incoherently No Matter What The Cause” rule that ties together previous encyclicals. ---
