On not defaming lizards...

1 Opinions 23:1-10

And shouldst thou think to thyself superior to the lizard, consider that the Almighty created the lizard before thee. And shouldst thou reply that the best was saved for last and man was created afterwards, behold the woman was created after man and is superior to thee. And it has been said by the keystrokes of she who is known as MyHeartsNAfrica, "Do not say mean things about lizards! I love them a lot, and find it offensive. You can tease me all you like, but not the lizards. I shall forgive everyone that has done this in the past, but I highly suggest no one does this again. I am totally serious. Yup. Everything else is fine, within reason of course, but I truly find no humor in the whole lizard torture thing. Both words and pictures. Okay? Okay. Now we should all be good. Yes indeed. I am done now. Thank-you. -Jaryd" The word of Jaryd. And verily, she ain't a man.

On capitalizing in the chat room

2 Opinions 18:1-19

Behold, the word of the chat admins concerning the use of capitalized letters in the Chat Room. The word of the admin has come upon me, to proclaim the correct use of capital letters in internet chat. Thou shalt surely capitalize the first letter of every proper noun. Thou shalt capitalize the first letter of every sentence. Thou shalt follow standard laws of English style and usage in regards to the capitalizing of acronyms. Behold, the use of capitalization for emphasis is a thing not to be done. For there be three distinct ways of emphasizing you words in the chat, viz. bold, italics and underline. And through thy use of these forms thou needest not capitalize thy words for emphasis. Indeed, there be even a fourth measure to make thy words stand out and that be by the use of different colors to highlight your text. Do you have eyes and not see? Do you have ears and not hear? The use of capitalization is taken as shouting, a thing not to be done. Who needs or wants to be shouted at? And verily, the continued use of capitalization when requested not to do so is disrespect of a high degree. Yea, it bespeaks ill of thy wisdom and upbringing to do so. In all things, seek decorum and couth and let it be said that the way you present yourself speaks well of you. The word of the admins. Thanks be to God.


On anime...

2 Opinions 23:1-14

Behold, the word of the webmasters concerning eastern culture and anime. It has been told thee, o man, what is good and what the webmasters do require, but to do computer graphics and to love animation to walk humbly with thy laptop. And behold there arose a question as to the value of eastern culture and anime in particular in fulfilling this command. Hast thou not heard? Hath it not been told thee? The ways of the east are perversion and wickedness. For from the east come forth all sorts of wickedness disguised in the medium of anime. And lo, though some may think that there be skill in the art, be thou not deceived. Anime is wicked. It is abomination and perversion. All who devote themselves to it shall surely perish. Like a gold ring in a pig's snout is animation lacking in discretion. Yea, the eastern culture cares not for the values we espouse. And it is reflected in their anime. Be thou scrupulous in what thou allowest to enter into thy life. An open mind is a terrible thing to waste. The word of the webmasters. And all the people said amen and worshipped.
