It actually doesn't take much at all to enforce a minimum of civility in any forum, and I also think, once people learn there are going to be rules, they're pretty good at policing themselves.Bill Willinghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14977587767617018371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127699809586119748.post-21434204329592222692008-12-03T05:17:00.000-08:002008-12-03T05:17:00.000-08:00Bill,Uhhh, ok (that article really didn't mention ...Bill,<BR/><BR/>Uhhh, ok (that article really didn't mention any laws - it just mentioned how the internet devolves into a chaotic state when "broken windows" are allowed in a forum, blog or chat, which got me to thinking of how your forum has been very civil. I think that civility is the by-product of your running a very tight ship, though yes, I agree that it's your ship and you don't have to run it / be a platform to people who aren't willing to follow the rules).<BR/><BR/>Juan Ramón Vallarino J.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127699809586119748.post-89339702944709416032008-12-02T18:49:00.000-08:002008-12-02T18:49:00.000-08:00For the most part my MP days were far too much fun...For the most part my MP days were far too much fun.

I loved the Tim Drake character, but stopped reading the comic years ago. Perhaps I'll track down a few of your issues.<BR/><BR/>And, wow, you were a Military Police?
