It's amazing how people will act when they have to take responsibility for their actions.

There goes my vocabulary! Seriously though, I have little problem with this, as long the mods stay fair and understanding as they've always been.

I was on a forum once (dealing with a particular design of firearm) and had gotten a real raw deal from one of the corporate sponsors of the site... I said in a post that I was very pissed off and nearly got banned for the use of that one word... And that was after I spent nearly an hour editing the post to make sure it didn't have anything worse in it!

So again, disciplinary action good... as long as Mods are good, and we've got some of the best here... it's why I post here so much more than the other forums I visit!

infraction system seems cool with me.....but I'm wondering about my signature....it has a swear word in it, should I change it?

Cloves, I gotta admit - I smile every time I read it.

My stance on improper and/or vulgar language has always included a clause for intent/context... I find nothing offensive in your sig line cloves... However, if you called my wife that... well, that wouldn't be pretty as she can get pretty catty when she gets called that (don't ask how I know)... But, heck, if you can't call yourself that (or the thin woman inside you at any rate)... then what has this world come to?

I say amen to a' that and a' that.

It's nice to have a place where a little risque inuendo and/or adult humor is OK without the tasteless vulgarity with which we tend to be inundated these days. And I aplaud the prohibitions.

Personally, a bit of grace and beauty go a long way toward making life good. Like that songs says, it's good to live life like you're dying.

On the other hand, I have no intention of going 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu. (that's from the song if you haven't heard it.)
