Netiquette or other flames? So if I read it right, you want this to be a place where you can be as loud and offensive as you please without anyone having the right to tell you you're misbehaving? If you can't behave, you woun't be respected and if you can't be told to behave (and how to behave) you can't learn to behave and thus wount be respected. This list was created to provide yet another place that's not as crowded and thus not as sensitive to people running around screaming, causing unneeded noise and distracting everyone. If you're watching a movie atyour home with a bunch of friends you can comment it, ask them to pass you the bottle and it will be totally acceptable. If the exact same do all the three hundred people watching the exact same film in one full hall, noone hears anything. The more people, the bigger demand for good behaviour.
