ME

[Mistermischief]

Welcome!  Don't listen to the grumps who tell you what this place is or isn't.  I think we could do with someone who is here to laugh.  I miss the twiz, a person who used to post funny stuff a lot, for that very reason.  I hope you like it here and decide to stay.  

Then perhaps YOU could help me...I wanted to post a couple of pictures of human stupidity, but I couldn't  figure out how.  I found the "insert image" function, but then what do you do?  I cannot find a HELP function on this website, or a way to email the administrators.  So, can you tell me how to insert a picture?"

Maybe I should qualify what I said earlier. There is plenty of humour here, it's just that it's not the be all and end all of the forum, which it can be at some places  

Funny isn't the be all and end all of this forum for me either...I just like a good laugh among other things.  But, as I said, I ALSO like intelligent discussion (even about intelligent design...if that's not a contradiction).

Good. I'm glad it was worth getting a ticking off by the thought police for suggesting there might be other forums out there with a different flavour and a different ethos that, heaven forbid, may compliment this place.

Whatever else this place is like* it is very good, and in my experience unique, in it's ability to accommodate intelligent discussion between people of all world views, and that, in my opinion, is it's greatest strength. One can have a laugh on any forum I have visited, however having reasoned and reasonable discussion is very difficult indeed.

*This is my personal opinion and only my opinion and may or may not reflect the views of the management.

Hi

This isn't a forum based on lulz and fun. You'd probably be better off at rationalia.com where serious conversation is as rare as rocking horse droppings. However, this place is good for some considered conversation and some subtle/dry humour.

Welcome aboard.

Regards
Chris

No razzing or tongue poking to be directed toward the rules.

Thank you all for such a warm welcome, with the pages upon pages of links to rules and admonishments not to look for humour here.   I assure you humour isn't the only thing I am looking for.  At my age there is one thing I can still hold ... a sound and serious conversation.

I do appreciate the help regarding uploading and other things.  Thank you.
