No objection from me, Ian. But can you teell me if the use of such terms has been a problem at CCF?

One question Ian. What is the purpose of this addition? Is there a demonstrable problem at CCF with these terms?

I have never heard of the invisible pink unicorn and especially have never heard of the Flying Spahetti Monster. :funny: I'm sorry but that second one is just too funny. :funny:

No, but it's been added as a sort of preventative measure to ensure it doesn't become a problem in the future, and if it pops up, we can handle it appropriately.

One question if I may, Ian. Has the use of these terms been a problem at CCF, or is this more of a preventative measure?

Say, Ian, would you mind telling me if this rule has been added because the use of FSm and other terms are a demonstratable problem, or is this a preventative measure?

It's mostly preventative. It's not going to be strictly enforced unless it becomes a problem.

Only if you can manage to fly quick enough to avoid the sledge hammers...
Of course, I'm the guy whose always been mystified by the extression: "Wouldn't hurt a fly" since try as I might, I've never managed to kill one of the blighters. They move too fast. |
