It’s a good question, this: who in their right mind would willfully hurt themselves doing something they “enjoy”? I’m guessing psychologists have a word for this type of behavior, and I’m not afraid to assume it’s not a flattering one. Indeed, we are all of……

After watching The Rules gain attention, we asked Geof and David, who each seemed to spearhead the opposing views of The Rules (Rule Holism and Rule 5 Fundamentalism), to contribute articles discussing their views of The Rules.  Ying to David’s Yang, Geof has impressed us with his ……

What follows is a Guest Article contributed by our community member, David.  For several months now, David has entertained us with his harsh, fundamentalist view of the Rules.   It has been interesting to watch the community grab hold of the Rules and interpret them in their own way.  We h……
