Oh boy.............. here we go again................
This is an international forum.......... In today's environment, there are a number of countries and cultures, and even individual convictions; who seem to go over the deep end whenever they see a gun.......
So.......... the forum has had to come up with rules to keep some sense of civility concerning such things that are fairly simple, don't actually affect reality, and level the Forum atmosphere....
................... We get tired of the continuous reporting of threads and avatar pictures over and over again because somebody thinks the rules are silly and shouldn't apply to them....
.... Here is the bottom line.............. The Forum will get along just fine without folks who get their nose out of joint simply because they are intent on pushing the envelope....
.........Open forum gripes and complaining can only lead to one resolution...........
