There's no mention whatsoever of any requirement that any member must submit at any time to the coercion of majority opinion or conform to prevailing subculture mores or convert to provincial groupthink. RHP is a business, not some goofy church. ~gb
There is an expectation that members will treat other members with courtesy and respect and maintain a civil forum discourse. To not play mind games with other members by sometimes pretending to be an arbiter of objectivity and lecturing on the nature of reality and then making snide comments about those who happen to disagree. There is an expectation that there should ideally be a free and robust exchange of ideas here with a minimum of gratuitous attention whoring and personal attacks that breed an atmosphere of further rancor and discord. This is what might be reasonably expected for any decent organization, whether a church, club, business or forum, that seeks to provide a safe, enjoyable, edifying experience for its members. You claim to be so delighted at the existence of RHP that you can barely contain your joy at how brilliantly conceived and executed it is, and yet you then take a dump on someone in your next post. Is it your PRIVILEGE to do so? I don’t get it. If you really love this place, treat it in a loving manner!

The post that was quoted here has been removedLOL.
We know: we can hear you snorting from here. But, gee, thanks for providing the clues to those of us following at home--- if you hadn't included the acronym, we would have been unable to tell from your words just how funny you find it all.
It's not a privilege. You just need the spare cash and a valid email address. Unless you count the mere accident of birth and circumstances to be living in a country with credit cards and the internet as a privilege.
(for those of you following at home...) LOL. Look who doesn't understand the concept of the term privilege. Pssst: it starts with 'y' and ends with 'ou.'
The fact of the matter is, what has been created within the structure of this website is tantamount to a constitutionally-informed government. Those who utilize its service are expected to abide within its bylaws. Those who subscribe to its service can expect the protection found within its TOS. Some of the privileges offered for those in use of its service include:
up to six games for non-subs and unlimited for subs
ability to join clans
ability to create clans
oh, and posting
All of these privileges are conditioned by the TOS, and are revocable for violations thereof. As GB has pointed out, none of the terms found within the TOS demand a universal style/substance/content format. Nonetheless, you (and apparently an overwhelming four people thus far) believe he ought to shrivel up and blow away, since he stands in opposition to your sensitivities. I guess that just tells the rest of us following along at home the strength of your position on the matter.
LOL.

Despite what Freaky said, I am not part of a group of four that is interested in seeing anyone "shrivel up and blow away." I believe that some people exist to provoke others out of their comfort zones and to re-examine their beliefs and assumptions about our perplexing consensual reality. Too many yes men make one stagnate mentally.
I just find it interesting that you and the originator of this thread are for some strange reason easily the most controversial of posters here.
Controversiality in and of itself doesn't offend my delicate sensibilities. Seitse goes a bit over-the-top many times. But I chalk it down to his outrageous, child-like sense of humor. He seems to be quite good-natured to me. But others seem to be...well, gratitutously and egregiously controversial, shall we say.
