You may have been able to silence me, SLCtDNE, but the placement of the post that you butchered ensures that your dirty, forum controlling tricks will be on display for all to see!

You can exit Hatrack anytime you want, but you can never leave.
Anything not specifically prohibited is mandatory.

People here are American Friendly, which means they will do almost anything you ask them to, and nothing you tell them to.
The Secret Liberal Cabal is not as secret as the vast Right Wing Conspiracy. Both are top secret, but play softball together in the Conspirators league every second Tuesday at some undisclosed softball diamond.
All Jatraqueros are equal. Some are more equal than others.
Quote Princess Bride you win the thread.
Quote Dune--the book-- for bonus points.
Quote Dune the movie--lose points.
The "Last Post" threads never reach the last post.
The "Begging the Question" thread is older than the Internet.

If I remember correctly, it died because someone was posting entire chapters of a textbook or something and crashed the entire board.

I KNEW IT! Look, put me in coach. I've made my posts, I've antagonized Dag, I've agreed with Lyr time and time again, I'm ready!

This one isn't a rule necessarily- but something you might want to know. Blayne really, really likes video games.

Blayne also really likes communism, and countries that at some point practiced communism. If you send him a mail order Chinese girlfriend he would probably be your friend for life.
There is no limit to the number of alts you may have on this board, if you can beat Jon Boy you get a million bux.
Trying to argue legality with Dagonee is like fighting the T1000 with any sort of melee weapon.
You cannot be made real until you satisfy at least 3 of the following requirements.
1: Endure one of King of Men's insults to your intelligence, insults to your preferred deity don't count.
2: Honestly believe Claudia Therese is especially nice to you, and then realize she is just that awesome to everyone.
3: Argue theology with Tom Davidson until he makes a jab with the graemlin tacked on at the end. If Tom cannot be found Mr Squicky or Javert will do. Other's may also be qualified
4: Post a movie related thread of significant importance before Puffy Treat manages to do it.
5: Win a round of the Hatrack Movie Quote thread.
6: Create a thread that eventually surpasses 10 pages of posts, simply replying to yourself over and over invalidates this accomplishment.
7: Survive Lisa's wrath after suggesting Israelis have no business defending themselves against Palestinians.
8: Watch the entire series of Firefly and see Serenity.
9: Participate in the Hatrack Xmas Gift Exchange.
or
Complete just one of the following.
1: Successfully convince Ketchup Queen that Heinz ketchup is not delicious.
2: Make a post with at least 3 sentences that no hatracker manages to disagree with, or take issue with the grammar.
3: Summon Mr. Card back to this side of the forums.

I dislike the "wins the thread" announcements. Mostly because I never win. I think I won once. Besides, everyone knows that any thread worth winning is won by Tom. It's why he and I will never be friends.
:runs a search:
I guess I won one thread, but more importantly, I apparently won an argument with Squicky once.

Commas aren't grammar.
However, the second half of the relative clause is ungrammatical—there's no slot for the relative pronoun.

And indeed, quite possibly the only person to have come to Hatrack from Sakeriver (rather than the other way around).

Jon Boy: I almost limited the grammar caveat to just you, but you were already mentioned by name when I discussed alts. Incidentally, what's a relative pronoun?
Puffy Treat: I think you and I both know that trailers, casting buzz, and new movie announcements are all important events of unparalleled significance.
ketchupqueen: Nope, I definitely completed at least three before you, KPC, and Rivka made me real. Though I will admit that I still wish to complete at least one of the, "Complete one, become real" requirements.
Flaming Toad on a Stick: How could they respond unless they also read the post to some degree? Seems impossible to do the later without the former.

At some point you have to accept that the other person is not going to be swayed. And also remember that the entire world doesn't have to agree with you.
You make your point, someone makes a counter argument, you make a response clarifying your position. Then the other person clarifies and expands his position, etc....
At some point you have to accept that you've made your point and it is never going to be any clearer. If the other person doesn't agree just accept it and move on.
Couldn't have said it better myself. I would add, don't take anything personally. If your argument gets torn apart by someone, they don't actually hate you.
That's right isn't it...nobody here actually hates me do they? *cowers in fear of the truth*

Wait, how am I going to prove my existence to you guys when I can't even prove I exist to people I have actually met in person?
Well hopefully I'll at least I'll end up being an imagination of someone real and not an imagination of an imagination because thats what I am to my "physical" friends.
