I'm a paying member! Do I still have to act like a guest?

Yes! Get your @!#$%^ feet off the coffee table!

Or at least use a coaster!!!

I find this sort of ironic. People coming here to seek refuge?

FYI, the above statement was not meant to be derogatory

Did someone poke the unicorn again?

I hope you do understand that it is the regulars here who find this a place of refuge. Well, at least untill someone "pokes the unicorn" and the mooglemongers and OOTers come flooding in here.

Yes, of course I know that. I was just saying if someone came to the Asylum to seek refuge from say, the OOT forum after posting something stupid, would the said individual be granted, "political asylum."

not trying to start anything
