So your child read something on my site and now you're mad as hell at me. Kids do the darndest things, don't they?
Well, I'm not a babysitter, a nursery, a playground or Barney the purple theropod. This site does not cater to, entice or in any other way try to attract children.
If your little bundle of joy stumbled across my site, who's fault is it? Did I buy a computer, stick it in your living room, connect it to the internet and then leave it unsupervised for little Johnny to play with and find something Mommy and Daddy didn't want to have to explain to him until he was older? Who in the world would do all those things?
Those miscreants, the ones that let your child have unsupervised, unrestricted access to play around on the internet, those are the guys you need to yell at. I hope you find 'em.
- I wrote everything on this site, don't plagiarise what I've written, This isn't high school or a friggin' encyclopedia britannica. Do the research and write your own stuff. You might write something better than me but, if you're stealing my stuff I kinda doubt it.
I put the wallpaper up for people to use. Download it, change it around, I don't care and there's not a whole lot I can really do to stop you.
However (comma) If you hotlink images from this site, I will do my best to make sure that I swap out the image to a naked, fat chick eating smores.
- If you break your computer, the law, a bone, the sound barrier or rupture a vital organ because of something you read on this site, it is your own fault. Take some responsibility for once in your life. I am not all-powerful and I did not "make you do it".
I link sites that illustrate points I make in articles, or for stuff I think is cool and deserves some attention, or I link it because I'm lazy and don't want to type in the url when I'm surfing on somebody else's computer.
I'm not responsible for links that lead to stuff outside of grimthing.com, If you click a link and the site's no longer there, or that site has switched to a subscription-based model, there's absolutely nothing I can do about it.
Stuff disappears from the internet all the time, learn to deal with it.
I don't have frames, pop-up/under ads, floaty-javascript window thingies, or links that open new windows. If you are experiencing any of those annoying "features" while visiting grimthing.com, it's because you're infected with virii, adware and/or spyware.
You have two options, you can:
- ) Download software that compensates for the inadequacies of your operating system of choice (and yes, you did choose it. It may have come with the computer, but you're the one that kept it there) or
- ) Install a better operating system, learn to use and secure it.
There's a strong possibility that I have opinions different from yours. This may result in you becoming offended or enlightened.
While you have the freedom to be offended, I have the freedom of speech.
If you don't like what I'm saying and/or writing, I have a few things you might try:
- ) Hit the back button on your browser. Better make it a couple of times, just to be safe.
- ) Turn off the power to either:
- Your monitor
- Your computer or
- Both.
- )Realise that I pay the bills to host this site. It is mine and I dictate what is said here. If you don't like it you can buy your own domain, pay for hosting, spend an inordinate amount of time getting your webite to look and behave the way you want, populate it with a bunch of stories and then get hassled because you said something some anal-retentive ass took offense to and decided to throw a wet blanket on the party and ruin it for everyone else by thowing their two cents in when they should've just shut their trap and mosied on along because they weren't A.)Welcome or B.)Wanted.
