Trimming My Sails

Hang on - this board has rules? Where are they published? Just to check, I logged out and initiated a new registration (that I didn't finish). Here's a portion of a screen capture.

Just what are the rules?

Rules become necessary when someone upsets someone else. If there is a law against littering, for example, you can bet it's because someone has been doing it at some time.

This community is largely self-regulated. When someone crosses the line, other people step in and get them to cool off. So far, this has worked. If it ever becomes less than satisfactory... formal rules will be created.

1152x864, 16 bit. The colors didn't come out right because I converted it to a .gif file using a utility that doesn't do that well.

I've been having a bad day/week and posted something I should not have. It's deleted now.

IOW, I think I'm being a jerk.

I've gone back over some of them and toned them down (especially the one in the Avatar thread - sorry Dave ).

So please - if you all think I'm being to strident, please let me know - and please let no one take anything personally, as I have no animosity towards anyone here.

Well, I don't read all the threads. And, if there are any threads you've been a buthole in, I've missed them. The ones I HAVE seen you reply in have been, well, just making a normal comment, or one containing a fair amount of witiness. So, I don't now what you're talking about.

I posted on the Avatar thread, in what was meant to be a good-humored tweak about all the fantasy-themed avatars he was creating (this being an SEIV board and all

). But when I went back and looked at it later, it came across to me as nasty

and mean

. So I went back, toned it down, and posted this thread...

That's the deal.
