What I am trying to say is that in order to fully rant, you can’t hold back. Where’s the catharsis if you have to hold in a little bit of the anger? ---

Incubus: what anger? What possible anger do the rules not allow you to vent? Do you want to vent racial hatred? Do you want to deny the holocaust. Please tell me what anger you have that the rules do not permit you to vent. ---

Its mainly the cynical belief that me fully venting will offend the moderators in some silly way, causing me to get banned. Its not about voilating the specific guidelines outlined in the sticky. There are probably a lot of angry posters out there, and unfortunately I am looking through a screen of sorts when I see them rant. I suppose I’m the only one really bothered by that. ---

Well, **Incubus** , any board that allows me to express dissatisfaction with life problems in terms of my itchy butthole is OK with me, warts and all. Erm, the warts are on the board, not my butthole. **Fenris** , are they itchy assholes? ---

Alas, much like Holly, when that strange pyramid portal gave her the opportunity to return to earth from the “Land of the Lost,” chose only to observe, but not leave because of Marshall and Will. I have never been able to see that forum again. I went to a Houston Dopefest shortly afterward where a wise mentor doper informed me that I had the wondorous luck of leaping through a top secret restricted portal where only the most offensive posts are allowed. > > The lesson to be learned is that true opportunities of offensive, arcane anarchy are rare.

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by blowero \* > \*\*I’ll take a kilo of whatever you’re on. \*\* Wha? I’m nearly certain he’s correct. There is indeed a moderators only forum (actually several) that is used to move posts to that you don’t really need the general board population seeing, but need to await further review.
