Well, isn't this fun? Erm, not. Well, okay, it kinda is in the slow down to see the bloody car wreck definition of fun.
For those of you who haven't been around long enough to know the moderating runs in cycles. Most of the time we're reasonably laid back but periodically we shake things up by tightening up on the rules and so on. Most everyone gets with the program and we lighten up again until the hammer needs to drop again. It just so happened the new guys coming on board was an ideal time to tighten up again. Relax, it's unlikely to affect you directly.
As for our forum family every family has all sorts of freaks and weirdos so we're no different here. Please insert your own definition of freak and weirdo to suit. Same with some of the "conversations", it's like your Uncle Ernie telling the same stories over and over every holiday. The advantage you have here is you can put somebody on your own private ignore list and never see or hear from them again.
Y'all may resume the free for all.
PS--for Mikey. Wrath? Who are you kidding? I don't waste my wrath on this place. In your case it was instruction. And obviously I'm on your ignore list.
