Ok I read it, can I stay. I have not said one rude thing, yet. Nor have I said anything to derail the thread so go call mall cops and have me banned for no other reason than you don't like me. I'll get in less trouble as I'm from a clan with forum policies.
Your quiet right about question 1. But the no forum policy does not include not reading them. We all read them with great intent and in some cases discuss. The advantage of discussing a thread in the clan is you don't get morons going "first" etc. and there is mutual trust.
The reference threads you mentioned other than Wulf's ,started as Sexwulf, are a crock riddled with bad advise. If Wulf has a recent peer I missed it. Wulf's clinical accurate approach to a thread, has no ego projection. Every third sentence doesn't start with " I" or "I've".
The big no no is the dreaded war thread , why would you contribute to pages of drivel and innuendo. What would be the point of arguing with someone like yourself Cheeseball who's only current game involvement is getting a little pleasure injecting his opinion, admittedly to argue, in every thread you can You can't focus on the war and help ppl back on the short bus.
