Anyway, having said that, I was also not aware that OKM was used as a ghetto,

That was fairly early on in the game...Sometime in early 2003, IIRC.

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

It shouldn't matter. There are no rules in Discordia.

Yes, but some suggestions are more strongly worded than others.

I disagree with both of you.  There are rules.  I have a reactor patch to inspect, then I'll elaborate.

I realize that words are our primary offensive weapon. However we are under little or no compulsion, other than peer pressure, to adhere to words, strongly worded or not. Like Blackstone, I do think there are some things required to maintain civility. Having said that, when civility is no longer an option then it is time to climb a tree, shake the limbs to the breaking point and scream like we are being eaten alive.

I'm finding it hard to give a shit.

Seriously, this is what middle-aged men are rebelling against.

Wow.

Well, yes. We are so consumed with this that we aren't posting rants, links or participating in any other threads.

And, as I am sure you are well aware, that is your perogative.

And that is the whole point, isn't it?  I was wrong in screeching about Lies' page 6 thread, and by the same token, I have the right to post as I see fit, as do you, and as does everyone else.

The problem as I see it, is that what used to be page 6 shit is now page 1 headlines.

Yeah, but in Apple Talk, there are no guidelines for what's important, and there shouldn't be.

Seriously, this is what middle-aged men are rebelling against.

Also, men are sillier at 38-68 than they are at 14-34.  I would have thought that to be obvious.  If it wasn't true, there wouldn't teabaggers.  Nor would the American revolution have happened, come to think of it.

So what happens to us 35-37 year olds?

Other than a slowed metabolism and a prediliction for staying AT HOME instead of going out like we used to?

Nothing much.
