Puffles’ House Rules
January 5, 2011 16 Comments
I wrote a few days ago about Puffles on my ‘Anonymity is power‘ post. Puffles wants to start a blog with house rules and more information but is unable to at the moment, so kindly asked if I would put them up here for the time being:
1. Puffles does not comment on individual serving/active politicians incl MPs & ministers because the public and civil servants that Puffles buzzes around have to abide by the Civil Service Code – therefore Puffles tries to stick to that code too;
2. Puffles does not swear – ever;
3. Puffles’ re-tweets (RTs) are “for info only” and do not indicate agreement or disagreement;
4. Puffles is a peaceful dragon fairy, deploring violence from/on all sides;
5. Puffles asks everyone to keep things legal, polite & peaceful;
6. Puffles likes to educate people about how the UK is governed, and likes to inform people of their legal and constitutional rights. Puffles sees such activities as an essential part of being a public or civil servant and Puffles is happy to assist those public and civil servants in that regard;
7. Puffles sticks to trade union-authorised campaigns when campaigning to keep the public & civil servants that Puffles buzzes around, out of trouble;
8. Puffles refrains from personal insults and asks that other tweeters and tweeple show similar restraint;
9. Puffles reserves right to block and/or report for spam anyone Puffles likes, incl spambots, hatebots, trolls and tweeters/tweeple who Puffles decides are behaving in a disruptive or disagreeable manner;
10. Puffles reserves the right to lampoon and satirise anything that Puffles wants, but Puffles only aims to do so with a big smile.
Re rule no.9….don’t underestimate or dismiss disruption! Not always bad
brilliant post. also agree that the third party method for annoymity is genius. it does rather help that puffles appears to be naturally dunny, a rare and precious commodity in the poltical sphere. good luck with the twitter inspired dissertation.
Thats great – Rules everyone should live by
Would love a Puffles of my own, but think dragons are best free to wander at will! PS I never swear at all ever either, plenty of rich Elizabethan epithets to choose from!
Puffles might one day discover that her wings and fiery breath are more useful unharnessed and that she has them for a purpose. Don’t lose the use of them.
I like your Rules
