I've joined a Union...

Well sort of, I thought initially about joining various blogging collectives but they were all too restrictive in terms of what I could and couldn't say. Sure I agree hate speech , racism, sexism and down right jackassery should be avoided at all costs because hey we're all human and being openly offensive to someone due to colour, race, gender or creed is just not on in my books... but if I want to say Storm of Magic is a great big steaming pile of poo heaped upon the dung pile that is 8th Edition Fantasy and that the fetid carcass of that systems is only good for burying the grotesquely incompetent Matt Ward in, I should be able too right? Well i guess I just did!!! Guess what I'm going to continue saying what I want to as well and the guys at the collective I've joined actually actively encourage people to speak their mind.

You see what's the point in having a blog if you can't say what you want to say in the way you want to say it? If I want to swear, I'll swear. If I wish to use colourful metaphors that involve rhino's and a lack of KY Jelly, I will and if I want to write about none Games Workshop topics I bloody well will. Trouble is most of the gaming blogging collectives take issue with how I write but more importantly what I write. However the idea of being a part of a network of bloggers is an appealing one, so in steps the International House of Paincakes to make everything hunky dorey again. If you check out their Code of Conduct I think you'll all agree that's far more conducive to my... erm... style of writing. Because, yeah at times I can be 'abrasive' and I've been known to upset people, not deliberately you understand but sometimes by speaking from my heart I can ruffle peoples feathers.
