Do you remember those chapters in The Water Method Man where the frustrated graduate student uses all his impeccable writing skills to write mean letters to his creditors? I guess this is my, not so well-written, version of it.

Actually I checked your listed rules and attempted to find some on
the webring site about a policy on this issue and didn’t see anything.
Maybe you should make that more clear in the future. As I understood
it you required actual content and something about hedgehogs.

Thanks

The TOS is supposed to be a guideline for what kind of sites you want in your ring. To fail to give clear guidelines is inconsiderate to not only the present but future members of your ring. If you take your job as ringmaster so seriously you might want to consider them because they are essentially your customers. Indiscriminately rejecting sites for arbitrary reasons is a bad business practice, Emma. This is an extremely unprofessional, not to say rude, attitude to take.

That would explain, however, why there are only nine websites in your ring which I hadn’t noticed until now. Kind of defeats the whole point of having a ring if essentially there’s no traffic being generated. In any case. You can go fuck yourself.

The last bit was Cody’s idea. Heh.
