Important Message from the Boot

[LordSunhawk]

This is an important message from the Boot regarding the election tomorrow.

There will be zero tolerance for calls for violence of any sort. This includes rhetorical, satirical, or 'humorous'. This is not the normal state of affairs but rather specific for this election and will be relaxed when appropriate. Staff has been instructed to be on a hair trigger for friendly warnings for this, however repeated violations may result in escalating enforcement, up to and including forum wide bans. The Boot is hopeful that this is entirely superfluous and unnecessary, that all members of the site will conduct themselves appropriately. If so, the Boot will be very pleased and ordinary operation will resume.

The Boot would like to preemptively point out that on the Sietch friendly warnings are just that, a tap on the shoulder and a request to chill out. They are not a punishment, they are not a badge of shame, they are not a threat. Please don't overreact to them.

It's been eight days since the American electorate delivered their mandate. Who is the Sietch to stand against it?

When will we be able to (hypothetically) wish to crush our enemies, see them driven before us and hear the lamentations of their emotional support animals?

We are already at the hearing the lamentations stage. you slept through it. just like that nightmare you used to have about sleeping in on the class field trip to the theme park.

The Boot is extremely pleased to announce that, in honor of it's impeccable shine and perfectly tied laces, the Boot is graciously permitting this period of zero tolerance to return to a state of normal operation. However the Boot would like to take this opportunity to urge the Boot's loyal subjects to, after an appropriate amount of time spent admiring said impeccable shine, perfectly tied laces, and amazing polish, be charitable and gracious in victory (or defeat, or even de feet) and not indulge in that silly custom of 'grave dancing' or, worse, coffin dancing. The Boot, after all, has taste.

The Boot would like to commend the Boot's loyal subjects for their behavior, only a handful of gentle reminders were needed, and none required anything more severe. The Boot knows that the Boot speaks for all of the Boot's staff when thanking people for their restraint and good behavior and hoping that, even with the end of zero tolerance, that it continues.

I promise that the only coffin dance from me will be this one
