[wp-forums] WPMUDev - General 'Be Aware' things

[Mika A Epstein]

Between Bill & Ted and Wil Wheaton's "Don't be a dick!" rule, you have summed up my general guidelines ;) (Toss in Lord Buckley's "If you know what to do and you don't do it, there you bloody well are, aren't you?" and that's it.)

Yeah, I learned about the too many rules trap yolks ago.

Usually a reference to the bloody big fire hose in the corner is enough to remind most people that, with freedom of speech, comes the responsibility to behave in a reasonable manner without needing a definition for every aspect of social interaction. Pretty sure that last bit comes under the general heading of "parenting". ;-)
