I'll do nested quoting when I feel it necessary for context, but I'm also not shy about eliding what I feel to be excess material within said nested quotes. I very rarely full-quote.

I just try to remember I’m in someone else’s house and thus behave accordingly.

This isn’t the Jerry Springer Show, its Para’s Parlor.

It's not about that. It's about two guys in a prolonged argument who keep quoting each other fully with each response. It's ridiculous. Boss man has reminded folks time and again on this.

I'm a computer dummy and don't know how or why to nest. I just quote or reply and if it makes no sense, well, you've got to consider the source.

I missed the ill will towards cdnn? I've made some good buys on overstock guns and grips from them although it's been a good while. What happened?

STANDBY FOR A CODED MESSAGE IN 14 PARTS

Are we talking Morse? Crap, I haven't gotten that far yet. I don't have an FSK.

For a while one of our ex-member's screen name was a keyword that would block a post from posting.

Not sure if that's still the case or not.

I know there are some other keywords, but I've forgotten what they all are.

Oh, and don't threaten an ex-President no matter how much you don't like him. There was a guy banned for that some time ago.

No commenting in the funny meme / pictures threads.

I enforce it, but that's not my rule. That's something the members desire.

Just.

Don’t.

Optics Planet seemed to be frowned upon, but no rule.

I like the rule where it's expected you're an adult guest at somebody else's house at a civil gathering.

Everything else is mores ("the essential or characteristic customs and conventions of a community."). I think most of the "banned" words are trapped and your post just doesn't get published. It's not like you have to walk on eggshells around here, just be a decent, civil, rational human being.

One thing that stands out for me in this forum is I have seen Para apologize more than once over a misunderstanding. I've never seen that with any forum moderator any other place; I think because those moderators think that if they admit to being wrong, that diminishes their authority.

Beat me to it. But, I see this as more a norm of civilized behavior than a rule.

But, there is a corollary to the above, which I believe is a rule: Don't tangle with the owner and then whine "Your house, your rules".
