I just get urked when people try to force their ideas of how I should act
when they have no right to do so. I'm not against rules and if the
Freelancer.net guys want to enforce more rules then I'll accept them and if
I don't like them I'll leave for pastures new.

Fact is I agree with many of the "guidelines" in that wiki (apart from the
top posting / bottom posting one which I think is a silly argument and I
don't personally give too hoots). When the WA Forum started I initially
joined it but more or less immediately left because of all the "rules"
imposed. Maybe it's just my anti-establishment feelings that have stayed
with me since my teens I don't know, I just know I would far prefer to be
here than somewhere where I have to mind my P's and Q's in case I get told
off.
