This would work very well, if the issue was of offending those familiar with the forum, and who are looking to converse with others here. If I've understood correctly, though, the big concern is for new people who are having doubts about the borg and looking out their Watchtower windows, but are still steeped in the lifestyle and not yet capable of dealing in a mature manner with such things as profanity.

Selective Banning
by Elsewhere ini hate to see people get banned or silenced - even the people who are causing trouble.
when it comes to regulations, i could almost be described as libertarian.
because of this i would like to make a proposal - instead of leaving the banning power in the hands of a central authority, i propose that banning be placed in the hands of the individual.

My cappucino maker, of course. It went belly up on me Thursday, and I didn't get another until last night. I've been so lost without my morning latte (whimper)

"Whoa! This is some potent stuff!"
I'm getting really good at wanking while appearing pious.
The friends all adored Sister Bernadette's new tigerskin sofa, much more easily obtained now that tigers were docile vegetarians.
News of the Presiding Overseer's big jackpot win at Harrad's spread like wildfire. Now they could afford that massive crystal chandelier they'd been praying for! Praise be to Jehovah! -

How hot is it?
by Mulan inmy cousin max, who lives in pennsylvania sent me this today.
he says it would be funny, if it wasn't true.. i t i s s o h o t t h a t .
.. the birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.. the trees are whistling for the dogs.. the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.. hot water now comes out of both taps.. you can make sun tea instantly.. you learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron.. the temperature drops below 95 and you feel a little chilly.. you discover that in july it only takes 2 fingers to steer your car.. you discover that you can get sunburned through your car window.. you actually burn your hand opening the car door.. you break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m.. your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "what if i get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and i cook to death?".

Mulan, these have always been standard in Texas, particularly east Texas (where it's humid as well as hot):
The best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.
You learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron.
You discover that you can get sunburned through your car window.
You actually burn your hand opening the car door.
You break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m.
You realize that asphalt has a liquid state. -

Computer Graphics Question - Flash MX
by Jesus Christ ini'm hoping someone will be able to help me.
yeah yeah, i'm perfect and should know everything but i just haven't been paying much attention with macromedia flash mx.. i've imported two images (.jpg's) to the stage and am wanting to do a nice fade between the two.
i can do a kind of sloppy one if i change the brightness or tint to match the background and then tween to it.

Hay-Seuss, let me elaborate a bit.
First, let's dispense with the potential misconception: it doesn't bother me that you posted about this. If I'd been able to answer your question, I would have. Your post didn't disrupt my day in any way.
Now about what you said:
numerous other people who have posted computer questions here
True, but with a difference. People who post computer questions here are virtually always novices asking about things like how to display an image in a post, or if anyone knows why their computer hangs when they try to view so-and-so. They're experiencing problems with either basic computer use, where anyone with more than a couple of years experience should be able to help them; or else they're experiencing problems with something directly related to this forum, such as the image thing, or font sizing, or so forth. There's a big difference between this and asking about doing a fade between two images in Flash.
My two posts were in response to the illogic of posting such a technical question here in a forum where the topic of discussion is Jehovah's Witnesses. It is as ludicrous as posting a question about Jehovah's Witnesses in a Flash forum.
So instead of making a joke of someone asking for help how about actually helping me?
Contrary to the situation with posting images and constructing basic HTML, I am not a Flash programmer. However, I DID help you. I suggested you go to a Flash forum to ask. You're self-admittedly too lazy to do that; but don't say I'm not helping you if I suggest an ambulance for a broken bone when you want me to set it myself.
