I'm not sure the staff of a Pokemon forum are really the appropriate people to put rules in place to teach people life lessons. I think the question here is - what problem are you guys solving here? The point, the spirit, of the rule of "don't disrespect members" is because that is harmful to...

Just wanted to chime in here and point out that if the staff didn't want replies, the post could have been posted as a locked thread or a locked addition to the small changes thread. If every post that wasn't a question or a poll was never responded to, then the forum would probably not exist...

I've been in contact with him over it. This has been a long-term issue where she thinks if I just try hard enough then I can make it work, like "he's on vacation for three months in the summer so just take the cat and then spend 6 hours cleaning at the end of the summer!" even though it would...

Ugh my mom just got an opportunity to randomly jump ship and move cross country but the woman offering to work with her is allergic to cats so she keeps saying on the phone that she'll investigate options for him. She's been trying to get me to take him since I started college and my boyfriend...

I'm kinda tall-ish I guess, 5'8", but it doesn't bother me.

I like the public nature of it a lot; it means that I never know who I'm going to run into. :) I was so shocked when I got on IRC the first time and saw that mods and admins were just there to chat with. I never would have been brave enough to contact them directly.

Pleeeeeease try not to make your post by editing it seven times. Every single one is a notification. Your metabolism, digestive system, area of living and many other things are not shared by many women. For example, where I live in Chicago, there are many things within walking distance, as...

Yup. I don't really know why.

I always thought of it this way, because it's also misunderstood like other mental illnesses - unlike physical illnesses, where people just accept that your body is more frail or not as capable or your bones are brittle, with mental health people seem to think "I'm fine, so you should be too". A...

It's probably the kids you're trying to protect that are making the names in the first place.

I use quick reply up until the thread hits like 2k. Usually I start bugging Andy to make a new DCC or let me do it at that point anyway because I love the DCC and don't want to be annoyed posting in it. /selfish

1. Both of you made the same incorrect assumption that I mentioned the average size of women to imply that that should be the average size of models. I mentioned the average size of women as a counterpoint to Lotus' "I'm the same size as models and they make me feel better about myself...

I hope you realize how interlinked these two statements are. It is not shocking in any way that you feel validated by the fashion industry that puts forward your body type as the ideal. The average American woman is a size 14. For those women, it would take years of strict dieting, exercise...

I think the implication is more "old habits die hard", like it's hard to kill their passion over something. Not literal death.

I'm not sure I see it in such a positive light - I see purity as someone with as little human emotion as possible, basically the less you feel, the more pure you are. Thus it isn't a necessarily good thing, more like an empty thing. The term pure to me relates directly to the idea of a pure gem...
