Rules of posting

Post by Lesley Hines »

Having searched in vain (although admittedly not terribly thoroughly) for Julie T's much-fabled posting rules, I came across these that I thought were interesting and were largely very true.

Read, digest and enjoy :lol:

I've seen Law #1 (Godwin's) in play so often - I didn't realise there was a name for this phenomenon though. It gets really tiresome, seeing the same hyperbole used time after time, especially on MSN news comments sections (where Law #10 is also frequently in play).
Great article.

Nice one Lesley.

There's a lot of truth in many of them.

Aw, was that it? I thought it was something much more prescriptive. Bloody cross-threading :lol:

Charlie, can you please change that? I'm not going to have filth like that posted on a public forum. I don't know where you got that picture from but I'm not convinced you've got the right to use it. Besides, now I've changed my glasses I look ooh - 2, maybe 3 years younger than I do there.

Sorry, I didn't want to post that one but I couldn't find any pictures of you with your son.
