My Hegdeghog (sic) webring is a general audience ring. Your site contains language that is only suitable for over 18’s. As such it is an adult website and should only be submitted to rings that comply with WebRings Adult Pages Policy. Details available on the webring home page.
Also to use that language in emails to other members is a violation of WebRings own abuse policy. Should you send any more emails to me containing such words I will forward them to WebRing support which could result in your ring id being terminated and your URL and IPS (sic) barred.
Regards
Emma
Clearly no sense of irony. This was when I decided to use my secret weapon - a husband with a creative writing degree. Yeah I know it’s a copout but he so enjoys flexing those old Anarchy Online flamewar muscles every once in a while. And, well, I felt that at this point she needed to be destroyed.

I hardly felt that my page was “adult” in nature–the only word of could be objected to is not banned—as evidenced by the title of the Showtime series “Penn & Teller - Bullshit”. Additionally, the Webrings Adult policy is meant to keep minors away from “sexually explicit material,” which cannot be found on my site.
Finally, my biggest complaint is not with the particular rules of Webrings or with your webring in general, but rather with the holier-than-thou attitude with which you replied to my first response. I simply stated that I did not see any such requirements in your TOS, and received a very rude reply in return, stating that you were the webmaster and could do anything you wanted, thank you very much.
While this is true, there are polite ways to handle things, and impolite ways. I find it more than a little amusing that, after replying in a very rude tone, you suddenly get “offended” by the language in my email. At any rate, I would like to thank you for not allowing me to join your ring. Having shown yourself as one of those marvelous, self-important petty tyrants who rules her nine-website dominion with such an iron fist and unassailable perfection, I think I am better off.
Cody totally kicks ass doesn’t he? Then I blocked her email address. It was time to just let it go.
Since these emails I’ve been accepted into the ridgeback webring (which has 212 active sites) and the got cats webring (which has 63).
What’s really funny is I couldn’t give two shits if I got in her webring or not but the way she went about it just rubbed me the wrong way and, well, like any proper hedgehog I got huffy and stuck my spikes out.


BWAH hah hah hah hah hah!
That’s damn funny, hon. Holy Fuck.
