The Incivility Pledge

I’m exceptionally boring tonight. All writed out (I know it’s not a word, you damned grammar nazis!). So I was surfing my blogroll and found something fun and entertaining. If I can remember where I originally found the link to this gem I will most assuredly give a tip o’ the hat. Anyway, NTodd’s non-pledge:

And now I offer the wide world of blogging my own pledge.  To show solidarity, I demand that all incivil bloggers unite under my banner.  Don’t take this Holy Fucking Pledge and you can earn The Seal:

We fucking celebrate the blogosphere because it embraces words like ‘fuck’ and open conversation. But frankness does not have to mean we can’t have fun and swear like sailors. We present this Holy Fucking Pledge in hopes that it helps create a culture that encourages both personal expression and constructive conversation. One can say naughty words and insult one’s mom without losing points in the discussion.

1. We take responsibility for our own words and reserve the right to call stupid people names when they fucking annoy us.

2. We won’t tell anybody to fuck off if we wouldn’t tell them to fuck off in person.

3. If tensions escalate, we will start a metablogpissingmatch, if only to generate traffic.

4. When we believe someone is unfairly attacking another, we escalate and get more personal and nasty.

5. We allow anonymous comments because who the fuck really cares? It’s a goddamned blog.

6. We troll other sites for shits and giggles.

7. We encourage parody sites because if you can’t take a fucking joke, you’re a goddamned moran and shouldn’t be blogging.

There’s just something so goddamned beautiful about it all. *sniff* Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

And this is why I will never be accepted to payperpost.
