The lead giraffe has not needed to add to the “rules” for over 2 years!

The last thing we need, in my opinion, is more rules.

The fact that it has been 2 years just hit me. WOW. Since the rule change. It’s been FOUR years that were up and running. |

Good folks are hard to find in this world. Found some here. To that end, I would add that enforcement of the site rules is an extremely rare occurrence. We have to moderate very, very little. Good people equal a good site, that’s been my mantra since this place opened. This site IS its membership. |

The last thing we need, in my opinion, is more rules. We need rules to define the rules and what that would mean for rules 😱😂 Sorry, couldn’t help myself |

Isn’t there a rule that I am the Lord Emperor and I cannot be second guessed?? Maybe I DO need to edit the rules… |

I operate here just like I did on the FDP.
I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. sums up my life, thanks Mr. Heinlein.

Looks like we're gonna need us a civilometer...
...preferably, one that's accurate to one ten-thousandth of a politeness.

When you have good enough people, as we do, that’s 90% of the rules you don’t have to worry about. |

This thread inspired me to peruse through the list of our members here and came across a bunch of recognizable names, many who never posted, some who simply disappeared. One name that stuck out was "stratcat" and I saw he was last on line 6/18/2021 and his last post was regarding an approaching hurricane. Having just been through Louisiana it made me wonder how he was. Curiously his member name shows up last and out of alphabetical order.
Anyone hear from him by chance? I know the hurricanes were pretty merciless on Louisiana.

Curiously his member name shows up last and out of alphabetical order. He put an emoji in front of his screen name. I think there is a rule against that for the exact reason of maintaining alphabetical order. EDIT: It is, Rule #5. I have restored (alphabetical) order. |
