Some of you may have heard of the rage-inducing, brain-dissolving shithole known as Etiquette Hell. Not the archive, but the discussion forum. Please save yourself the headache and do not bother registering at this cesspool disguised as a haven of etiquette deliberation.

Allow me to give you a little foretaste of the wonders of E-Hell: People there will go out of their way to find things to be offended about. Picture the stereotypical old biddies who gasp in horror if your napkins don't match your tablecloth - that's what the honchos at this place are like, only in quantums of behemoth proportions. They will rip apart a totally innocent post and bleat about how hurt and offended and aghast they are over the most random shit. Let me phrase it this way...I asked one of the front-runner board jackasses to "please stop replying to me if you don't like what I write". Firm, but polite, yes? Less than a day later, I was permanently banned for "insulting too many people".

And if you dare say you're childfree or say anything that does not glorify or worship children, the listless board busybodies will watch you like starved hawks to try and find ways of seeing your ass banned. They do not take kindly to those who don't fall to their knees and worship the almighty bratlings. If you don't believe me, look at any topic that deals with the childfree choice there - they've all been locked.

The board also boasts being respectful to all lifestyles, yet the filter automatically alters words like "gay" and "relationship".

Now I will give E-Hell some kudos, because sometimes there are some nice juicy trainwrecks there that are mind-blowing, or just plain funny. But the majority of the board's activity involves all the hens clucking about how they were inconvenienced in ways that wouldn't bother normal, sane people...or, at least, not to the extent of starting seven-page-long discussions over it.

So, if you cannot take your eyes off E-Hell, I strongly suggest remaining at lurker status, because if you dare talk like an ordinary human being, if you dare have an opinion that does not match that of the board ringleaders, if you dare not kiss said ringleaders' asses, or if you are not mentally ill like most of the members there, you will be banned. Your brain cells are precious - if you're going to waste them, do so over a bottle of Bacardi. The taste it leaves in your mouth will be a lot more bearable than the one you'll have after joining and experiencing first hand the abomination that is E-hell.
