I’ve been here 9 years and one month, you’ve been here 9 years and three months. What is this, junior high when you felt somehow superior to the kid who transfered in two months later? I read your PM and wasn’t impressed. If you don’t like my answer just skip it. No skin off my nose, but don’t expect me to reformat it. Look around at the prior feuds and you’ll see lots of people who copy the clues. That’s because it makes sense to them to do so. ---

The strangest thing was the auditorium and music room was kiddie-corner from the police station, which means if you were behind the building from the school’s perspective, you were directly visible to the cops. I don’t remember ever hearing of anyone getting busted by the cops for truant toking. 9 - Not really, but that seems to be the stereotypical “gym class game” in movies for the past decade. ---

Yeah, I’m pulling rank. :rolleyes: I’m the one who runs these games, and if you don’t like the rules, don’t play, simple as that. I tried to be nice and let you play, ffs. Now run along. ---

Since when has the OP been the junior mod for their threads? If you don’t want the general posters to play your game, put it on a blog where you are the boss. And put me down for agreeing in general. As AuntiePam says, lots of times the questions appear in the answer. I don’t see you getting all uppity about that rule breakage. Whether the questions are separate or not, if they are in the answer then it’s a whole lot easier to read what people are putting with what. These things aren’t for your cast-in-stone monument, but for a day’s amusement. ---

Doing that makes it more difficult to score. She’s scoring these and the rest of us sit on our butts. That makes junior modding OK in my book. Even though I’m one month your junior. 😉 ---

> [@Ellen\_Cherry](#): > > Doing that makes it more difficult to score. She’s scoring these and the rest of us sit on our butts. That makes junior modding OK in my book. Agreed. They’re pretty easy rules to follow and they make life a lot easier in the long run. ---

But that just means you can ignore those posts the same way you’d ignore posts like yours and mine with no answers. There must be dozens of “anomalies” every day. Can’t stall and fuss over every one. Remember back in the day when posting here was so slow people would mention every typeo. Glad those day are gon. ---
