Never post using someone else's name.
Never assume your point of view is better than another's.

If we were to never assume that our point of view was better, we would have no debates, nothing to defend, and progress would grind to a halt...
Just think Doc, you'd still be treating everything with snake oil...

always wipe your mouth after you type.
make sure your fingernails are clear - you dont want other blatherites to see yesterdays dirt do you? sit neatly, ankles crossed and dress modestly at all times.
joy? another cup of this quite exelent tea please. this cup has grown quite cold.

Point well taken, cube³. I suppose what I was trying to say was that we should be tolerant of others who have different points of view. I'm not saying that we shouldn't debate, just not get our panties in a wad when someone disputes us. Use civil and logical debate rather than ad hominem tactics. (Now, this is ONLY if a blatherer wishes to follow good Blather etiquette ... if he/she is feeling like making waves, he/she should just ignore these rules and let the shit fly.)

Isn't the point that anything goes?
Fuck etiquette!
IF you think that my opinion is idiotic, fucking tell me! Or don't! Whatever!
Revised blather etiquette

Why do you think I started this blathe???
Etiquette is a choice.
It always will be, thank god.

when embarking upon a new concept, do it sparingly. if kx21 limited itself to five or less newslinks a day, people wouldn't mind so much, ditto a15qiaggd0, sakhalin, user24s_test_page, meta, marked.... add your favourite annoyance here.

Tolerated? I, for one, enjoy the acrs and bsc posts. Am_I alone in this opinion?

oren; that's what i mean;
'tolerated' did not imply "but only just", instead 'accepted, allowed, encouraged' etc.

Ah. I_was not aware that there were other meanings for the_word, but I looked it up and you are absolutely correct, u24!
1. To allow without prohibiting or opposing; permit.
2. To recognize and respect (the rights, beliefs, or practices of others).
3. To put_up with; endure.
I've always used number three. Maybe I_can start applying the_other two. It'll be tough!
