> 1) The rules are pretty clear: it must have something to do with CF. Don't bitch when people call you on it.

> 2) As far as the enforcement of the rules goes, I have no problem with the occasional humorous posting. However, you, Grallon, and your fellow boneheads seem to think that clogging every possible thread with obscure, pointless Army jargon makes you funny. It doesn't. Not even close. Grallon wouldn't know funny if it bit him in the ass, and the rest of you aren't usually much better.

> 3) On a related note, Grallon's tired, pathetic jabs at DIKU lost what limited luster they ever had months ago. There is a time to let go of a joke. Endlessly repeating an unfunny joke doesn't make it better. On the contrary, actually.

> 4) I come here to read CF-related material. I make an effort to answer good questions as I see them, if I know the answer. I am critical, and often sarcastic, but there is a lot of useful CF content in my posts. Yes, I post cheap shots as well. (Cross-search my handle with the word "Arolin".) But I post an awful lot, and most of them are 100% CF content, and I keep the others to a minimum.

> 5) I hate to break it to you, but the days of the average person thinking of army soldiers as Lofty Heroic Types are over. Most of us don't really care what gun you have, or what tank they let you drive. It's a job. I don't bore you with the details of my job, even though it would let me use lots of obscure words and acronyms as well. Don't bore me with yours. I am sure there is some Army Stories Forum somewhere for people who want to hear about these things. Go there.

> Clear? If I'm off base, let the VIP flames burn my sorry hide right here in front of everyone, and Grallon can post "Leg (n/t)" the way Gharik posted "Fake Post" 400 times. Bring it on.

> > Is it wrong that we try to have a little fun on the forum too? Damn Proud Blade, lighten up there is more to life then just cf. Now I know this is a cf forum, and we are all just goofin with our fellow cfers. Seeing as how we have all been drawn in by the evil force and cannot escape. But there is more, somewhere, I think, cannot remember, oh, shit, eh, LEG! Hehe. Ok, I am dumb.
