I take all of the blame for every errant comment. I had been operating under the assumption that the first rule was to be humorous. I always came here to get a laugh, not necessarily to read a small rule book for each post or contest.<br /><br />Best wishes to you. <br />T.Truthinatorhttp://www.truthinator.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882165486994692239.post-54975821114493433992011-05-01T05:50:07.408+03:002011-05-01T05:50:07.408+03:00Truthinator,

When it's in overload, it's hard, for me at least (especially with only five hours of sleep) to separate the caustic remarks from the man. They become more like shouts to me, rather than remarks. But, because of this, I did get a new idea for a post.

Please forgive me, brother. <br />I really appreciate your commitment to play by the rules from now on. <br />I had noticed that some took more liberties with the rules when you broke them - in sarcasm, of course. They must not have understood your intention either.Eddie Eddingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15864410680077755048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882165486994692239.post-72130851151929500022011-05-01T05:43:55.223+03:002011-05-01T05:43:55.223+03:00Wait, is somebody missing a brain?

Games without rules become depressing, dull and stupid. Every contest, every challenge will have a certain protocol. Fun within the contest boundaries. This is not legalism. It is order. The opposite of chaos. Otherwise, this blog will fail because I will lose interest or just quit out of frustration. <br />...i never really thought this would be an issue...<br />I mean for this to be fun for all.
