A Modest Proposal to Amend the Community Rules

Q. This is a stunt. You are coming back, aren’t you?A. Maybe. Maybe not. You will never know unless I tell you. You DO NOT HAVE MY PERMISSION TO DEADNAME ANYONE WITH THE TAG “funruly.” Not now, not ever, unless you get a handwritten note from yours truly.

Any new account you see, may be me.

Any new person that ruffles your precious feathers, may be me.

But you don’t have my consent to say “hey are you funruly?” Because that would be creepy.

You don’t have my consent to PM random people and say “hey, is that you?” Because that would be creepy.

Now I’m tempted to start a Games thread for people to claim to be @funruly in the vein of “I am Spartacus!”

“It’s not OK to attack the powerless, or victims.”

I still like my proposal better. And it’s shorter. We could add:

… or each other.

That said, I can agree that griefing in its manifold forms is quite dangerous in the “I shall now swallow poison to prove you wrong” fashion. If you carry any form of grudges, however subtle they may be, from topic to topic… that is a risk. And you should think about it.
