Good Lord. How many times do I have to say that this is his site to run as he sees fit before it finally sinks in?Â
And again, I never once verbalized that the apes were supposed to represent black people. I cannot help it if certain posters see "black people" when they look at pictures of apes.Â
Are any other animals verboten? If I post a picture of a shark, will that be seen as a dig at black people who have graduated from Law School? Will it be labeled as lewd or pornographic, since it isn't wearing any clothes?

If I recall correctly there are all kinds of amendments to our great Constitution. They were put in when things changed. If we needed to amend the Constitution of the US of A then I'll give Zig a pass when he has to implement new rules every now and then.

Heh. We totally missed the boat on the "Don't be Charles Manson" amendment.

Again, opinions are not suppressed here only repeated and repeated and repeated same ol opinions may be limited here. And every family has a Cousin Eddie. In this case we have a couple Cousin Eddie's Listen!!!!!  Just because I still wear leisure suits doesn't make me a Cousin Eddie..... Leisure suits, minivan, George Michael fan.  Hmmm, that makes you something undesirable but not sure what. I do love how you and Ala bust each others chops in a fun way. Reminds me of when Va and I gave old Scarlett the name Scarfabio. In a fun way? I'm serious. As always. This is serious stuff, especially George Michael.

I have to say, as I sit here and type I am shocked and appalled that this may have actually even been considered as a rule. Â
For the record, here is the "Don't be Brutus" rule in all of its glory.Â
6. No Pornographic/Lewd/Obscene Material nor racist comments, slurs, innuendo nor pictures to mock a race.
Yep, all of this in one rule, implemented AFTER I had already been removed. lol. Just in case there is actually another human being on Earth that could possibly generate the need for a rule with this exact wording.Â
3. No Bashing of Mods.
What kinds of boards is one posting on where those would not be typical boards rules? These are easy rules to follow.

Yes, the comparison to a typical board is quite apt. Of course it doesn't tout itself as being a typical board. But it is indeed a typical board.
No pictures of apes or scantly clad women. Got it.

Yeah, I mean if they made a rule that says that you cannot post from China, it would be pretty easy for most of us to follow. It wouldn't be very restrictive to the rest of us unless we had a VPN or whatever. But it would also clearly be a "ChinaBuck" rule, and to suggest otherwise would require a lot of mental gymnastics.
