Re: My God
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding

You are talking about a forum that uses the board warning software for fun, that has altered the wording of standard features to take the piss, http://rationalia.com/forum/viewonline.php and you wonder why I changed a youtube link?Martok wrote:So you use that feature, that's available to only administrators, to alter a members post?DP wrote:Do you see the edit button next to quote in the top right of your posts?Martok wrote:how can you edit my post!!

It was a joke. Nothing more malicious than you "fixing" my post.

Yes it was, I do it all the time, you did read the rank under my name? It isn't a secret, or a surprise, if you really want to get worked up I should probably tell you that I have banned people for making puns. Including other staff.Martok wrote: No, it was a misuse of administrative privileges.

Re: My God
