Nice post. But may I add #11: Please WATCH THE CAPS LOCK! And while I'm at it, #12: Use spell check when possible and available. Oh wtf #13 for good measure: Don't be intellectually dishonest. Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #8 September 28, 2010 Quotedo you know the derivation of that word you so casually toss about ? Derivation of which word? I casually toss about quite a few words. Some of them have actual origins, some are lost to history. I'm dying to hear the story you might have to tell about one I've just used. If it's the word "fuck" then sadly, your story is probably wrong.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,564 #11 September 28, 2010 Quote do you know the derivation of that word you so casually toss about ? The most frequently-used word in that diatribe is "you" (3, with "your" as a variant making it 4). Next are "fuck" and "rule" with 2 each (although "fuck" does have the variant "fuckface" included), and everything else is a one-off. According to Wiktionary, "you" comes from the Quote Middle English you, yow, ȝow, (object case of ye) from Old English ēow, īow (dative case of gē) Being an obnoxious pedant is against Rule 5 (make yourself look good). But hey -- if I'm going to be an obnoxious pedant, I'll do a bang-up job Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it.

turtlespeed 226 #16 September 28, 2010 Quote Quote If you can call Wendy a Fuck Face, is it . . . I did nothing of the sort! I called the author of the article she referenced "fuck faced." It's all in the subtext OBVIOUSLY because you are the acreditation nazi, and she didn't post a bibliography with her list, the only possible conclusion we could have had, adding emphasis to the subtext, is that she wrote it. However; to be intellectually honest, you didn't call the author of the list a Fuck Face - you used the term to describe the appearance of the rule book.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
