2: All members are on perpetual trial ---- possibly to Infinity and beyond. Arguments please? All members, of course. Mo |

The beginning?? 1: All Club THINK members will be on perpetual trial ---- possibly to Infinity and beyond. 2: All club members are Einstein, Neutron, Gauss, Mohammad, Dr. Taha, Gandhi, Lord_ Shiva or Jesus until determined otherwise by the club members. |

We have 5 of them now. |

Brig I got the word "Epithet" from your last entry in the Fiat Lux "donald trump"/the organism (not donald trump 2) forum. Did I miss interpret the meaning? Must I find a dictionary? HELP! Mo |

Rules Rule 5 5: All trolls will be directed to another club, Rules made to be broken? What is the definition of trolling? Discussing other clubs seems to be a form of trolling, unless being in a different club and discussing it here is not. All club discussions are open as read only from anyone on GK. Discussing the threads or making the same thread here would be a copy-cat sort of thing and is that trolling? I'm a bit confused. |

Red I see no immediate need to restrict discussion about other Gameknot clubs as long as it doesn't violate GK rules and follows Club THINK's rule # 4. Mo |

#3 |

It's merely a question of how small and useless one is. |
||||||

Rule 4 "...the Truth, what we believe to be true, what we hope to be true or what we think might be found to be true in the unknown, currently non-existant (sic) future. " I am contemplating the addition of "... or what we want you to think is the truth." That would open membership up to a very prominent person who would bring lots of twitter followers to the club (no name supplied). Not sure how many of them play chess, though. Or would we prefer to keep such persons out of the club? |

Rule 16 "You will violate any applicable local, state, national or international law, and any regulations having the force of law." LOL. |

Advertising Honesty Honesty in advertising I think Twitter should be given an award for adopting such a transparently accurate name. Complete agreement here! In an unrelated note, NASCAR gives the checkered flag to the race winner. I propose he give the Confederate Flag to the race loser. |

not necessarily. it says "you will violate any......law". I think that means you only HAVE to violate one, though more does seem to be encouraged. Anyway, you have probably driven above the speed limit. but wait. the second part does say "......and any regulations..." [plural]. That seems to require at least two more violations. if it said "regulation," you would only need one. |

hog Personally: I appear to violate GK rule 16 every time I talk about firing-up a joint. |
||||||
|
About GK Rule 16 By way of illustration, it is negligent driving to fall asleep at the wheel. But if you fall asleep in front to television, you wouldn't be charged with negligent driving. That law applies only to actions associated with driving. So I would expect that GK rule 16 would only cover things while using Gameknot. For example, using game chat as a means of 'using a telecommunications device for an unlawful purpose', (e.g., planning a terrorist act). But if you are in any doubt, I refer you to Mr. Slant in the Discworld series. |

Complaints I have made more than a dozen posts in the past ten years. Some of them bleep offensive words, but possibly not sufficiently enough. I know GK edits offensive words, so I figured their substitutes must pass as satisfactory. I would absolutely have preferred knowing which posts of mine anyone found objectionable. I know Softaire and Thumper have banned me from NG for absolutely offensive posts--yet they never deleted the posts they found objectionable, nor did they ever inform me what it was they objected to. I am not aware of any GK violations I ever made in their group. Oh--in anger I do recall referring to Softaire by an inappropriate word in a private message I've also used for Thumper in public messages. Guess I will have to edit and repost those, if I can find them. Wish me luck. I suspect this action was instigated by Henny or one of his friends in retaliation for actions taken by someone else--not me. I'm just an innocent bystander here, a spectator speckled with dung from a firecracker someone else ignited in a fresh cow pie. |

Whoa! I wonder who else received this notification? I have never encountered a Red Fox Rising post even remotely derogatory about other users, or containing the slightest bit of profanity. I am nonplussed anyone would have lodged any complaint against you, Ron. You're the epitome of propriety, if any exists on GK. |
