Kathy Griffin: The official rules of Bashing.

This is just too funny.

Remember how Kathy bashed the Son of God? (And even demons believe He's that.) Well apparently what's good for the goose is not good for the gander...

"ATTACKING OTHER USERS:

Intentionally attacking another user is an offense. What an attack is or is not is up to the moderators to define on a case-by-case basis. No case is the same. These actions MAY be deemed attacks (based on context): Criticizing board members instead of ideas. Bashing, name-calling, direct and obvious personal insults, offensive orders, threats, harassment, etc. This includes using offensive images or photos directed towards a member. Be respectful of both members and their opinions. Physical threats are an instant ban offense. (Emphasis Mine; Source: Kathy's Website.)

LOL! But wait, there's more. One must not retaliate!

"RETALIATION:

If you are attacked (see above) do not retaliate. Returning fire may be deemed as an offense itself and usually interferes with the moderators’ ability to act. The best thing to do if you are attacked is to ignore the thread or PM and report the offense. There is then a clear-cut case for us to review." (Emphasis Mine; Source: IBID.)

And don't even think about goading people...

"TROLLING:

Posts intended solely to annoy and/or offend other members by going against the clear nature of the board are not allowed. Derogatory or inflammatory posts about sensitive topics to bait users into responding will be removed." (Emphasis Mine; Source: IBID.)

But Kathy, what should one do who has been attacked? What's that you say? Ban them? Surely not!

"OFFENSE RESOLUTION:

Unless otherwise deemed as a fatal offense (moderator's discretion), a mod will contact a user via PM on the first offense to issue a warning. A user will normally be given a second chance and the benefit of the doubt.

Users must reply to a moderator warning and acknowledge it. Do not ignore a warning.

The second offense in the course of an 8-week period will incur a two-week suspension. The third offense will incur a permanent ban. Moderators reserve the right to suspend users for other reasons at their discretion." (Emphasis Mine; Source: IBID.)

Rules to live by I say. Besides, what she said wasn't planned, right?

"After what happened last year at the Creative Arts Emmys, academy members may have been swayed to vote for Kathy Griffin just to avoid another outburst. Well, forget that. After taking down J.C. in her acceptance speech, she revealed her Emmy plan backstage: "OK, after last year when I flipped off Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, screamed 'I was robbed, you can all suck my d--k' and stormed out — which I still stand by as a funny bit — I thought, how can I top that? So this year if I lose, I'm going to run up anyway, grab the Emmy and then take it until security takes me to Emmy jail. If I win, I have a fairly offensive speech about Jesus. And I hope I offended at least some people." (Emphasis Mine; Source TV Guide.)
