Remember folks. It all has to do with your attitude. Here is a little help to determine where you fit in. 
Please let me know if this is too 'political' as well. Would not want to promote drinking to the underaged crowd! Aye tis' true!

The average underage crowd where I live laughes at your promotion of alchohol......... and then goes out for a drink.

I figured that you've spent so much time here that you'd understand the site rules and the fact that we have an entire forum for political discussion and that posts elsewhere will be moved/deleted/edited, ye scurvy dog.
Sorry I didn't send a note home to Mommy explaining you'd been a bad boy...
It was not intended to be a political statement. It was just intended to be humorous. But I guess if you can't stand the heat, best to modify the kitchen. As for the 'note to Mommy'. It is usually the respectful thing to do. Sorry, I did not realize this is the MacRumper Room. I'm sure you have to send lots of notes to concerned parents, so what was one more? Though I do seem to recall other 'politcal' postings that seem to have slipped through the cracks somehow. This must be a high profile case. And as such, I suppose it garners more attention. As the saying goes, this too shall pass. Speaking of passing! The gangs all here awaiting the 'ball to drop'! Out with the old and in with the new!

We mods can't catch every out of line post, but if you post something in a dialog with us, we'll catch it.
If we PMed everyone whose post we edited we'd never get through the day - the note in the post is sufficient and is SOP as far as I've seen at forums all over. At least on those with a decent amount of traffic.
Enjoy 1st while it lasts - it might not be long...

There is an underlying tone in that last statement. Now where have I heard something like that before? What could possibly crystallize it so well? Ah, I know! Here is a little 'motivation'.
Mustang Mac: Look at the bottom left-hand corner of this message. See that little exclamation mark in the triangle? Do you know what that means? Report. Can you repeat after me? Report. Can you spell Report? R-E-P-O-R-T. Now, go find those posts that express a political viewpoint and have not been posted in the politics forum and click on the little triangle with the exclamation mark in it.
I'm well aware how it works matey. I feel no need to tattle on any Rumpers. Did you tattle on me? Someday you will learn more, grasshopper, about political viewpoints, satire, hardball, etc. But now the party has begun! The mood is light and filled with merriment! Anticipation is intoxicating! WOOOOO!
I have never clicked that little button...
I have quite a strong political stance... however, I don't express it unless other people express theirs... mostly because no-one really cares...

I suppose I should apologize to you cjc343. You are probably feeling somewhat 'hot and bothered' at present given your past history.
That was dated Tue Mar 23, 2004 3:29 pm at the MacAddict forums. Your dreams and aspirations can still be fulfilled! WE indeed shall put a Mac team in the top 10! Viva la differance!

Why should I be "hot and bothered"?
Past history is not proper english because both of the words have the same meaning.
I would join Team Mac OS X when they pass MacRumors except for one problem... their top folder is rude. Maybe you all have a better sense of community among yourselves, but you sure don't express that to the people who you are hoping to have join your team. The message I posted was not in any way rude, it stated the facts, and left it at that.
Now, the representatives that have come from Team Mac OS X, have taunted us and been rude in general, if it weren't for that, you would have the power of my 5 computers (yes I know it says 4 right now, one of them is new to Folding) working for your team. Keep that in mind next time you pass us.

All in proper chronological order. I apologize for not giving credit to your team members where credit is due for each post. Sorry I have been so rude. Keep on folding on! Science and humanity thanks you for it.
Again, I apologize. I almost forgot.
It is proper english in the context it was used. Some examples.
ARRR! You be puttin' up a good fight matey! Now quit swinging the lead and get a foldin'! The cannons be aimed at yer yardarm, and they be meanin' to hit the target! Ye shall be given quarter when the time has come! Aye tis' true! Yo ho ho!

Just remember back to the "The Knights Who Say Ni!". They were all happy about taking us down. Now look where they are.
It is still not using proper english to say past history.
Background Paper. Pediatric Cancer Survivors: History and Future Challanges
Pleural Effusion in a Diver with a History of Major Trauma
Designer drugs: History and Future Prospects
This would be correct usage of "Past - History" but that is different from "Past History" because the hyphen seperates the two into different thoughts.
