Are we required to politically correct here?

[Caruthers612]

     My love for this site is that it gives the impression that there is still one oasis left where people can speak freely, i.e., without having to bow to the PC speech code that has long since replaced the 1st Amendment. The very fact that I am taking the time to enquire as to whether genuine (non-libelous, obviously) free speech is allowed here is a sad commentary on the extent to which we have lost our rights. Nonetheless, as I do not wish to be banned from the site, I felt it prudent to enquire before making my first Chinaman joke.

MV is pretty clear about what gets you banned.  It ain't much - and we dance on the brink of even that.  Read the forum rules here:  http://coastgab.com/index.php/topic,45.msg263.html#msg263

That said, while you are quite correct that we're not terribly PC - nor do we - as a rule - take offense easily - please do keep in mind that if you step on someones toes - they are likely to tell you so.  IOW:  Don't dish out what you can't take.

And - my personal request is that in MVs absence, you have a heart for the moderators.  People here tend to be rather fond of each other - and we don't like having to make judgment calls, particularity given that we're a pretty twisted little group ourselves. 

There you go - clear as mud?

ok, here are the boundaries:
1)  stay away from saying things that could get you sued by someone who believes you have defamed them.  however, this is not a ban offense.  violators will merely be informed of the situation.

2)don't get me in trouble for copyright violations.  the copyright thing isn't a ban offense, either.  just please try not to create any problems for me.  if you have questions about something, ask.

3)  don't post porn.  of any kind.  what is porn?  as the chief justice of the supreme court once said, "i can't define it, but i know it when i see it."  this is definitely a ban offense.  if you're not certain about the definition of porn, steer clear.

nobody will be banned so long as they don't break these simple guidelines.  that's the michael vandeven no-ban guarantee. 

i created this board because i hate message boards and the assholes who run them.  this place is not nor will it be run like those other waste of time dump holes.

evb is right about the need to read the board rules.  honestly.  they tell you everything you need to know.

addendum:  this REALLY IS the final post i'll make before leaving the country.

Do nude pics of Noory or any of his merry band of headcheese constitute porn?

Do nude pics of Noory or any of his merry band of headcheese constitute porn?

No, because porn is meant to sexually excite.

heh...
i again refer you to the chief justice and his thoughts on the matter.

[PhantasticSanShiSan]

No, because porn is meant to sexually excite.

Are you saying headcheese doesn't excite?

[Spikegirl]

Are you saying headcheese doesn't excite?

I guess it depends on who you talk to...

Now that was creative use of language (NOT of the Noory kind)

Thanks Ev! Try saying it a few times, it really rolls off the tongue.

     Alrighty then. Thanks for the (genuinely) helpful responses. I did read the forum rules. For those about to rock, shave your underarms first, for God's sake.
     So here goes the necessary and lame by nature disclaimer: I have no interest in anything but trading witticisms and the kind of spontanteous, good-natured banter that people used to toss about while downing pints and throwing darts at their auntie's bottoms before The Humorless assumed social and political power in these parts, with their motto: "That's not funny."
     Go ahead, ask me how many Jews it takes to screw in a lightbulb. I won't sic Bugsy Siegal and Shlomo "The Gefilte" Goldstein on you. I might offer to loan you money at a usurious rate of interest, but you know us Sheenys, we can't help ourselves.
     So when I ask why anyone could have the slightest interest in Michael Phelps and his eight gold medals when there are fifteen thousand Mao replicants with buck-teeth and Mr. Spock haircuts stretching from one side of my 46" widescreen HDTV to the other, please, don't take offense.

[PhantasticSanShiSan]

Red Herring.
