Last Warning

I went through this once before.

This is the last time I am going through it.

Either some of you can begin exhibiting some sense and judgment, or I can begin exhibiting it on your behalf through permanent bannings.

There will not be any cautions. The next comment I see that goes over the line will simply be sent to Pixy for a permanent banning.

If you're not sure it's over the line -- guess what, it is. Don't post it.

As Instapundit once said, regarding his decision to not have comments on his site: It's not the people who disagree with you who are the problem. It's the people who agree with you and support you, basically, who embarrass you by making over-the-line statements.

In case some of you fucking retards haven't noticed, there is a major fucking election at hand. You are embarrassing our candidate and our party.

You can bring yourselves down, but you're not going to bring me down, and I won't let you bring McCain/Palin down. There are over 40,000 readers here a day. I can afford to shed a hundred or so of them.

And I will. Because I know -- like last time -- some people think they're above The Rules or they think that this particular hilarious joke (which has been repeated thousands of times since 1953, always by dullards) they just came up with is too precious to not share with the group.

As I said last time: Make it count, because it will be the last time your thoughts are ever shared on this site.

In the Comments: Here are some of my thoughts. If you're inclined to take things over the line, seek guidance and a warning below.

Irony does not mean what some of you seem to think it means.

I had to close a thread because some of you made it so ugly it was an outright embarrassment.

Do different rules apply to me? Yes. I know what the fuck I'm doing. Most of the time, at least.

Some other people know what they're doing too. But that doesn't mean you're one of them.

Does this sensitivity apply to gays, too? Yes, I'm afraid it does.

Be aware that can-you-top-this riffing in sensitive areas will almost always wind up in an ugly place.

And if you really don't get how what I'm doing is different than what some of you are doing, then, really, you probably do not understand irony, and you should internalize that fact, and recognize that maybe you're just not getting it and never will. And refrain from adventures in this area entirely.
