Bill of rights? My Monkeyfilter Bill of Rights
My Monkeyfilter Bill of Rights
1. I can be politically incorrect.
2. I can ignore the gender of readers, posters and commenters as the notion of “mixed company” is obsolete.
3. I can abhor bigotry, including matters of race, religion, politics, and gender.
4. I can say something stupid.
5. I can apologize and can expect to have my apology accepted.
6. I can allow my emotions to affect the tone of my postings. I am allowed to express strong feelings.
7. I can use profanity when it helps to make a point, an exclamation, or humour.
8. I can post about anything that I find to be of interest, be it bottoming for a horse or dogs with shawls. I need not be intimidated by anyone else’s sense of propriety. I can understand that the community’s response or lack thereof will be the only judgment as to what is accepted.
9. I can expect that my anonymity will be respected beyond any information that I may include in my profile, and that, unless specifically stated, no other forms of contact with me are permissible.
10. I can enjoy unfettered conversation with my fellow members, without fear of moderation.
My hope for a new year. Greetings to all monkeys, everywhere.

I eeked this because it's not a link, it's not a Curious, George regardless of how you look at it, and it's essentially one more chance to gripe. Feel free, but not on the front page, okay?
And yes, there will be moderation. That's what a mod does. And while the community, of course, has every right to judge, I am (guess what?) still going to moderate. Almost everything else you say is valid; just save it for somewhere other than MoFi's front page.

Ya, it should have been eeked, and I regret putting it on the front page. Anyway the list is what I think makes Mofi great, and if any of them vanish it will be to our detriment.
And that Torquemada asshole hasn't posted here in months, and when he does, everything he says is stupid.
I happen to think Torquemada is one of the best members ever who makes MoFi what it is. *bans Ralph*
*feels boot crushing face*
*rips up pool ticket in despair*

OOOOOOOOOOOH! ME ME!! Do I win the meat tray or the chook?
