The Alternative Forum Rules ...

Postby GreekIslandGirl » Wed Jan 30, 2013 6:00 pm

Go placidly amidst the noise and haste in CyProb, and remember what peace there may be in not responding. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons but not trolls. Post your truth quietly and clearly with evidence; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive CAPS-locked persons, they are vexatious to the spirit of the thread. If you compare yourself with others, such as Greeks, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater Greeks and lesser Turks than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans, without derailing others. Keep interested in your own topic, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing forum of time.

Exercise caution in your choice of words; for the world is full of trickery and synonyms. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals and good syntax; and everywhere life is full of keyboard heroism.

Be yourself and avoid masking your true Turkishness. Especially, do not feign affection for GCs. Neither be cynical about love and ethnicity; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass which some want legalised.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, and the forumer's longevity, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune from breaking news. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of Googling-fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the Internet, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here until Admin does ban you.

And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion created by locked threads - keep peace with your soul. With all its shams, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful forum.

Be cheerful. Strive to be happy but do not overuse the laughter emoticon.

GreekIslandGirl you sound like a hippie :

addendum that you may have left out of "Alternative Forum Rules" ...."One should not commit a felony against fellow forumers no matter the temptation, because they may find a way to turn it around and make your a$$ tremble" :D :lol:

Yes, I knew there'd be a "subliminal" message in there somewhere… :roll:

That’s pretty much what she really wanted to say but thought of using a “wrapper” around it to make it less obvious! :lol:
