Thread Name: BS: What to do about obnoxious MC members?
Subject: RE: BS: What to do about obnoxious MC members?
I like it that the forum is un-moderated generally, but without forsaking the option.
And if I could impose on a Joe-clone, I'd like to moderately alter my post above where I said "And calling people Brits". This joke would be better rendered "And calling people the B-word". This would seem at first to refer back to a discussion of "Bitch-slapping" but instead, then I say "Brits". Get it? Thanks.
And please do not interpolate a long empty space between the set-up "B-word" and the punch-line "Brits". The joke is not good enough to pause for, even with the changes, and should be simply tossed off, as if at full typing speed, maintaining an appearance of the casual and effortless wit for which, I think it's fair to say, I am generally known. Don't forget to then also delete this post and it's reference to the editing changes required to improve the previous post.
The proposed amendment will clarify the general spirit of the post, as a merely playful, albeit pathetic attempt to be amusing, and will therefore be less likely to give any actual offence to persons of the Brit persuasion, or to others who may mistake the tone and intention as purposefully rude. Thanks in advance if this correction can be accomplished.
