Is it against the rules to place a curse on a fellow DU'er

[DarkPhenyx]

in the middle of a thread or to wish ill upon them and their family?

Just curious.

[scarletwoman]

1. I certainly think so -- did this happen to you?

And if it did, you should alert the mods.

[DarkPhenyx]

4. Oh, it happened.

Something about hoping their kids would defeat mine or some such tripe. Then again I am fully capable of defending myself and mine. Plus I don't like running to the Mods for stuff. Was just curious, and thought it's make a short conversation for the late night crowd. :)

2. Unless it's Ann Coulter, then yes it is

[Nevernose]

3. Sorry, that was me

I was aiming for someone else, though.

[DarkPhenyx]

5. Bad Argu!

Bad, bad Argu!

No cookie for you!

[mike1963]

6. I didn't invoke any curses...can I have a cookie?

:D

[DarkPhenyx]

7. Half a cookie?

Naaaaaaaaa, you get a full cookie. :)

[yardwork]

8. What's this about Ann Coulter?

Are we casting spells on Ann tonight? Count me in!

[DarkPhenyx]

10. NO,no, no, no, no!

No matter how much fun that might be no spell casting on Ann Coulter. It's bad ju-ju

[riverwalker]

9. Unethical only if it involves..

...chicken feathers, a full moon, and the entrails of a goose.

[DarkPhenyx]

11. Oh!

I feel much safer then.

[mrbill]

12. curse placing might not be against the rules yet, but........

pesky curses can come back at you times three or nine depending.

aim carefully.

[DarkPhenyx]

16. Oh, I know.

Even "foul wishing" can rebound on you badly. Even aiming carefully won't save you.

[Fla_Democrat]

13. Someone placed a curse on me that..

"all my children will be born, naked", and dang if it didn't happen that way. :evilgrin:

[matcom]

14. Curses? Absolutely against the rules

i do believe that Pox's are considered ok though. :D

[Renew Deal]

15. This belongs in Ask the Admins

:evilgrin:

[DarkPhenyx]

18. At least you gave it that much weight.

I was expecting someone to tell me it belonged in the lounge.

[VelmaD]

21. This belongs in the Lounge

*giggles, ducks, and flees*

Just kidding. Can I have a cookie anyway? *bats eyelahses enticingly*

[DarkPhenyx]

22. No1 No cookie for you either now.

Well...not unless that cookie curse takes hold and you luck out on it.

[VelmaD]

24. Mmm...cookie

If you're a good boy I might be pursuaded to send you cookies with my next batch of care packages. :) My boss brought me a big bag of pecans and I gotta do something with 'em.

[tkmorris]

17. I hereby curse everyone in this thread!

And then I shall give you cookies. I have cursed the cookies however, so beware. All except Matcom's cookies, which have a pox upon them. And cooties. Massive amounts of cooties.

:hi:

[DarkPhenyx]

19. And with it being Girl Scout Cookie season...

...your "curse" might come true on my end. My boss feels obligated to buy cookies, but dosen't eat them. I come in once or twice a month and find boxes of cookies on my desk. I think part of it is she is trying to bribe me so I don't boobytrap her office. Sometimes being sociopathic has it's benefits. :)

20. A curse might backfire

May the spirit of life protect every person who speaks out to make
justice here on Democratic Underground. May the blessings of all
the buddhas. Let us cherish our free speech. To have time for curses
is to be bored.

There are no enemys here. The enemy is the bugbear inside your own
mind that would "curse" somebody. What is that violence, and are
you wielding it justly? If it were a gun, and we all in a room,
you discuss, sharon'ian preemptive execution.

The will to curse, is so seldomly needed in life, if ever, in life.
Why not invest that intelligence and willpower in to a career,
a university class, or a hike in the mountains. It takes more
power not to curse, and it develops your will.

If you are cursed by someone, be very still. Surrender to truth and
the curse cannot hurt you. The buddha of truth, protects all who
take refuge. This buddha would bounce back the curse 1000 fold on
the one who applys it, plunging their state of mind in to dark
murky, stupid states of mind, of inflated egotism, emotional
indulgence and slovenlyness.

There are guardians in the universe beyond petty sorcerers and
wizards, who, like jedi knights, grant refuge to all who surrender
to truth. The people on DU come to surrender and learn truth.
They are protected by all the buddha's of the mahayana order.
Beware those who might use curses on such sacred ground.

23. Lord knows I've wanted to sometimes

Then I check the profile and see a tombstone.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

[HFishbine]

25. A curse?

This is cause for concern? Ooogha Booogha!

[DarkPhenyx]

27. Depends on your belief system n/t

[robbedvoter]

26. There's a rule dealing with that: 3 times 3 - or karma. Not a DU rule

But it works! :-)be careful what you whish
