Oh, real mature guys. I make one remark about me choking up at the end of The Notebook and you immediately take it the wrong way. And yes, I did also cry at the end of Big Momma's House, but you guys were clearly eating raw onions around me and I was already stressed over the announcement of Hillary Duff's new album, so cut me some slack.
Anyway, back to the proposed rules, I guess I could have elaborated my position a bit:

I like talking about my personal life.

Therefore, any articles discussing the news are now disallowed. This includes talking about anything on television, whether it be tv shows or sports events. |
I like talking about the news.

I like talking about music.

I like talking about school.

I like to argue. _________________

Here's some constructive criticism for you: No. If you really want to talk about those things, use IRC or the mod forum. We're not talking about you here, it's the users. Hope you get the point now.
Don't mean to offend your woman's intuition, ouzo, but you're wrong about General Chat. So, so, terribly wrong. _________________

Ah, but Ewiggen, you fail to see my underlying message which is that users like to discuss stuff. You deny them the priveledge to discuss random subjects and all they will have left is boring Guitar Hero crap. Who really wants to discuss star power paths or DLC, honestly? Bring on threads about Obama clubbing baby seals and problems finding the Control Panel, I say. _________________

In case you hadn't realized, that's the first rule of General Chat: No guitar hero discussion allowed. So, no boring guitar hero crap. _________________

This is all way too much drama. This is this kind of stuff that just supports my idea of resigning. Maybe then I can go back to posting whatever I want and not having to set a good example all the time. _________________
