Or like when I told I one of my colleagues that "dressing a hippopotamus in silk, still makes it a hippopotamus..."

Then I blanked out because she slapped me :P

This is a furry forum. It's meant for fun and interaction. Overly rigid rules will kill both of those things.
A forum is not a chatroom. They serve different purposes and have a different structure. You'll also find that the rules here are some of the most lenient on a forum that I know of.

Yeah, but that's because this site is closer in nature to something like reddit than to something like Tech Support Forum.

Actually I'm talking about community forums. Since another furry forum records moderations in public threads...
XXX banned the user XXX for a week. "Youve banned previously for similar behavior and antagonizing other users."
Continued disregard for submissions and rude behavior. 2 week site ban.
User XXX has been banned for one day for failing to cease antagonizing users after a warning, and making direct threats against other users.
XXX has been banned from the forums for 1 week for verbally attacking a user.
Personal insults are unacceptable and the ban was given without warning.

I dunno, I don't think he got to know you well enough over the course of the weekend to recognise that as a friendly joke. That's the kind of stuff you say to close friends, otherwise it's just an insult without context. I'm actually surprised he didn't punch you that cringeworthy second, although I much preferred the general laughter that ensued.

That would have been unfortunate.

It really was meant to be amusing. Besides, at least I didn't say that he would have been "just right".
