Picking up on old TT's posting and due to recent events and for the good of harmony at this The Most Wonderful of All Forums should we have a code of the above complicated word (Etiquette)?
I sugest we starte ach post with a special word, indeed SS could set up a pick list for us to use.
If we are going to have a bit of banter then start the posting with the word "Banter".
If we are about to post a joke we enter "Joke".
If we are about to have a real slanging match then we enter "Murder".
Also the use of special words - if we say "Ferk" then this is to be taken in the right light and very different to the word "f***" - if ya get my drift chaps. So Ferk can be friendly or it could be a local dialect BUT by default should be assumed to be friendly - be it a waning of in jest.
That way we can all sing Ding-Dong-Merrily on High as we slit each other throats
