Nice to meet you, Geeky. Don't fret overly much. I come from the Billy Connolly school of cursing myself, 

Oi! That could almost make Uno blush! LOL!

And good to meet you as well Taymist. What in the world are all those Scrabble letters under your name representing? RP Admin is obvious of course, and Brotherhood of the Red Hand, but the rest... "(SG)" and "DRPSW" ??

Thank you very much Dar'Jen, I'll probably head that way soon enough (well, probably after I catch up on Stranger Things, or at least kick out a few episodes). ?

Well, totally without intending to I ran across another set of guidelines for this site, this one including rules on language, so I editted out the s-bomb and a-bombs from my profile (well, editted them so they weren't actually saying those words). I don't actually recall if arse or crap were ever used in the books (I haven't reread the series since A Memory of Light came out, so my memory is a bit opaque on that), but since you can say those on regular telly here in the states (and we even could say it in my school when I was still in high school), I figure I am safe with those (at least I hope... admins, do I need to edit again?? I will if you ask/tell me to).

Not sure if Jason (I assume he still runs the show around here, right?) will change the language rules once the Amazon show starts, since I am pretty convinced Rafe & Co will not be sticking with just the curse words RJ came up with for the series. Sure, it gives a veneer of being child friendly, but when you couple it with the graphic violence and the extensive nudity it really doesn't make much sense. G-Rated "foul"-language on a show that has full frontal nudity and graphically exploding bodies, dismembered body parts in cook pots and a pile of dimembered body parts just chilling in a study? Doesn't seem to fit. So I believe that Rafe will probably incorporate real world cursing, while still using some of the language that RJ used in place of it. And that would make keeping said language completely out of posts a little silly. Mind you, I have no issue not using the F-word (like I said, I tend to say frak, even in daily life), but leaving out the product of defecation, and where on the body it comes from, well...

But until then, the admins rule.

Thank you Elgee, looking forward to getting back into the swing of things; it's been ages since I did the whole "forum thing." (Oh, and it was only one "s-bomb" and "a-bomb" I think LOL, I'll try to keep them toned down as much as possible, even though they are PG-13 by definition; technically, yeah I'm one of those smart-arses, PG-13 actually even allows for one F-bomb per film, but I don't think I'll be trying for that per post LOL). If the Admin Team wants me to edit my profile, I'll go in and fix it.

For now though, I'm just going to satisfy myself with learning how to navigate this site all over again, it is so different than I remember from all those years ago. I keep getting various formats of viewing showing up, and not sure yet how to control that. But I'll figure it out soon enough.

Have a great day, or evening in your case.

I posted here a few times ages and ages ago (probably four Third Ages ago it seems at this point), back when the other Wheel of Time forum site was still wotmania.com (before the refugee situation and the diaspora that saw many come here and others of us go to the then newly created readandfindout.com). Yeah, I posted under another name (not sure anymore what name I used, I have had so many online over the decades, same with email addresses).

I've been reading and posting about WoT since the summer of 1991 (the year I graduated High School if you can believe that!). Remember those days when we thought for sure Mazrim Taim was Demandred? And that Bela killed Asmo? Well, maybe not that second one (though I am sure someone out there with a tinfoil hat on considered the idea). I was never really that active here, maybe a few dozen posts, as wotmania had been my first WoT forum (after rawsfr-j at least), and RAFO dot com felt and looked more like home to me. So I never got to know anyone around here, and I am pretty danged sure nobody around here knew me (even if I recalled what name I posted under here), unless they knew me by the names I posted at the others sites as (no, not sharing those, personal reasons, let's just say I am not the same person I used to be and leave it at that).

I'm glad to talk anything geek related, whether it's WoT or not. That includes science as well as science fiction. And I'm a bit of a history nut (preferably ancient history, though I am expanding my horizons). Only thing I am unwilling to talk about is politics, please for the love of the Light, don't try to engage me in real world politics. I haven't explored the "new" (to me) version of DM fully yet, so I don't even know if there is such an area for that type of discussion, but if so I'll be doing my best to stay away from it. I've had to cut that and normal news out of my life for the sake of my mental health and blood pressure the last few years. I now focus on entertainment and science news. Much safer (at least until Disney pisses off half the internet with their Ariel casting... nooooo!!!! Geeky stay away from that!).

I welcome, nay, encourage people to check out my profile (a much more extensive and longer introduction to myself there). Fair warning: I am a wordy muther effer. And I do sometimes have a bit of a potty mouth: I use a$$ and $hit a lot (I "masked" those since I don't know if I can get away with them yet, though I think I used them in the "About Me" on my profile), but I don't drop F-bombs, I harken back to Battlestar Galactica and just go FRAK.

Anyway, I hope whoever might read this finds themselves having a great day/evening. Hope to make some new acquaintances in the near future, though I'm honestly not sure how often I'll be reading/posting as I have a series YouTube addiction (there is so much science and history content to be found there nowadays! not to mention all the entertainment news I follow there like Collider Video, Daniel Greene and Nae'blis) plus the telly shows I am currently watching. And whatever I am trying to read at the time. Always so busy with something.

Namaste
