Someone made the comment "it's only a message board". It might appear to be true on the surface but it's not. It's really a community.
Like any American community, we welcome immigrants and respect their diversity....... until they fuck with what we've already got.
You've seen just a little bit of that already, but believe me it can get much worse when they(we) get rabid.
That's not a threat or even a warning but an explanation of how it works.
Undertoad holds the deed but he's quite tolerant, leaving it to the members to police themselves...... unless an individual becomes impossibly annoying.
In that case, he makes a phone call and a limo with blacked-out windows comes to your house a 3AM and your family disappears.
We even have a sub-culture in the "Internet" section. The "This is Not Porn" thread is inhabited by a group that seldom venture out on the board and when they do they seem to be nice people, they're just into their own thing.
So we'd like you to stay and contribute, but it's your call, whether you're comfortable in the community.
