So, we know that we’re pretty awesome, and we don’t blame you for wanting to be like us; however, stealing our words and/or ideas is so not cool. So don’t. Intellectual property theft is not the trendy kind of piracy. Just link to us, or reference us and we won’t have to hunt you down.

Otherwise, The Rules of Engagement here at gapingwhole are very few and extremely simple.

1) Do not be racist/sexist/ageist/homophobic/any other kind of irrational idiocy that discriminates based on irrelevant characteristics

2) Harassment, sexual or otherwise, will not be tolerated

3) We reserve the right to deem your comments overly offensive and will not hesitate to delete them and then mock you behind your back for your inability to act like an adult

Barring that, you may proceed to be as irrational, illogical, ill-tempered, and insulting as you see fit. You don’t need to be intelligent, but you do need some manners.
