Cool, because A) We’ve all been waiting for your newest response, and I for one, am relieved to know your posting intentions. B) Every post to this thread causes a pixie to lose her wings, causes Baby Jesus to cry and causes BigT to lose 21 months of life. ☹ ---

> [@Fenris](#): > > B) Every post to this thread causes a pixie to lose her wings, causes Baby Jesus to cry and causes BigT to lose 21 months of life. ☹ So rules clarification, if this statement is true is every post from now on a violation of the rule to not threaten to harm other posters? If this statement is not true is it still a violation to post in this thread? The paradox or maybe just the pain killers are making my head spin. ---

Great, now I have an irrepressible desire for **mhendo** to call me a stupid old douchebag…feeling pretty left out here. ---

No, you silly person. The rules are super-ultra-clear. You may not _threaten_ another poster. If you post in this thread, you’re not threatening him, you’re actually causing him injury, no threat needed\*. There are no rules about actually hurting someone, just about _threatening_ to hurt them. So…win! 😃 \* \< Roberta Flack \> Causing him pain with our keyboards Snuffing his life with our words Killing him softly with Dope posts Killing him softly with Dope posts Hurting his whole life with our words Killing him softly with Dope posts \< /Roberta Flack \> ---

With this post, I’ve just stolen 21 months of your life away. Some day we may go as high as 105 but to be honest, I don’t know what that would do to you, so let’s just stick with what we have. Now, how did that make you feel? And be honest; it’s for posterity. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/talk-about-avoiding-reality/624615.md?page=7)
