Just a couple of things. There's a fine line when it comes to moderating a long distance urination contest. If it looks like the guys are hashing it out, I tend to leave it alone for the moment. When it starts a downward spiral, that's when it ends. Now, for offensive stuff, I have a pretty strong gag reflex. I figger, if some picture or link offends me, it's a pretty safe bet it shouldn't be here
Also, those of us who've been around the site since the beginning know who's friends with who, and when what looks like flaming is just friendly ball-busting. But a lot of the new guys might not. Keep that in mind. Not saying you have to end poking your buds in the ribs, but give some sign for the noobs that it's all in fun. Smilies, whatever.
One last point. I know I enjoy pouring myself a couple of fingers of an amber liquid and settling in front of a computer screen on a cold night when I can't fish. Nothing wrong with it. I also feel it loosening my fingers, and I stop at the point where I might be tempted to post something dumb. I can see from a lot of posts, in the late evenings or early mornings, that more than a few people probably enjoy this too. If nothing else, spelling and grammar take a hit
At some point, you have to stop and say, "Do I really, really, REALLY want to go ahead with this post??" before you move your mouse over the "submit reply" button and click on it. Just some friendly advice, to avoid problems over the winter.
