This thread is indicative of everything wrong with social media. Wait, I take that back because there's been no Kim Kardashian selfie posted.

Honestly I did not think I was doing anything wrong. It's Rhianna in a hockey jersey. Someone posted the link I posted one of the pics. You can't see anything but her legs. Did not realize that was not allowed. Considering 99% of posters here are adult males I didn't think anyone would find it offensive. Not to mention I don't see how it's really any different than the Flames ice crew who get posted here and young children see at every Flames game. If there is a rule against this here by all means I will follow it but seems like your dislike for me is motivating this more than anything.

I wasn't talking about you posting that photo - though I think most people know that we aren't allowing that stuff any more.
I was talking about - in a thread about people getting sued for a rumor - you then go and suggest that maybe its true? Come on. Show some common sense.

Does everything have to end in an argument with you?

Wrong.

Either way, don't do it please.

The forum rules say do not post pictures that contain nudity or porn. If you can post pictures of the Flames ice crew in skirts I didn't see how the picture was anything different. Girls in Flames jerseys showing leg. Rhianna in a Sens jersey showing leg. I've seen similar pictures posted here before which is the only reason I thought it was allowed. I now know not too. I appreciate KootenayFlamesFan approaching it in a respectful manner. For future clarification it's okay to post a link to the picture just not the actual picture?

A good rule of thumb is that if you're ever wondering if something is okay or not and need clarification, it probably isn't. Link, picture, or otherwise.

That's probably not a good rule of thumb for me since I thought nothing of it to begin with. Only reason I asked is because I saw the link was still there. I just won't pics and worry about my key strokes instead.

The biggest problem with Twitter isn't the content of what people say, but how it is destroying the English language.

And Elisha Tweeted back accepting the apology:

No word from Lupul, yet.

I guess this is over...?
Anyone read the comments below Elisha's acceptance of the apology? Geeze, people never learn.

When are the Leafs going to apologize to fans for making them pay to watch home games this year? Man, can't believe being expected to pay $350+ a seat to watch that.

Not increasing the prices is their version of the olive branch.

It's not just Twitter. People talk like that regularly now. So annoying when people leave out one letter in a word. Txt nd common now.

Honestly, I still can't believe it. There have been 4 occasions this year where I was asked to go to a Leaf game and all were over $100 easily. Watched the game on TV and could not fathom swallowing $100+ to watch that garbage, let alone the $350+ you mentioned. Don't know how people aren't boycotting it at that ludicrous price.

How so? I don't necessarily disagree, though trying to say something in 127 characters is a difficult challenge for the verbose. In many cases a good exercise.

That is rather the point. Twitter is not meant for verbosity. So now we descend deeper and deeper into txt spk.

Yeah, at the end of 240 characters and needing to complete it you have to decide which language transgression you're willing to make.
