10. Yes, artists deserve the "ridiculous" prices they charge. Consider the fact that your average pic takes about four hours from sketch to final coloring: if you pay $40 that's $10 an hour. So no, $10 is not an appropriate price for a full-color, full length drawing.
9. Just because they draw pr0n doesn't mean they'll draw your pr0n.
8. Bitching at an artist every hour until they do your commission is not a good way to motivate them.
7. Just because she's submissive doesn't mean she wants to submit to you. Just because she's domme doesn't mean she wants you as a pet.
6. It's okay to live and let live. The fact that they don't share your interest doesn't make them a bad person. Pushing your interests on them makes you a jerk.
5. Chatting with someone for five minutes does not mean they love you, nor does it make them your friend, your mate, your buddy, nor even a casual acquaintance.
4. Believing you're actually a dragon in a human body is fine. Thinking this makes you so much better than everyone else out there makes you a narcissistic jerk.
3. It's spelled HUMAN. H-U-M-A-N. If you use "Hyoomon" in serious conversation, you are either a Ferengi or a moron.
2. Buying a commission from an artist does not entitle you to cybor or picz. Buying a book from Barnes and Nobel doesn't entitle you to a free bj from the author.
1. When in doubt, remember Winston Churchill: "A fanatic is someone who can't change his mind and won't change the subject."

*chuckle*
There is a lot of truth to this and I think my biggest pet peve is furrys substuting words as listed in 3. Hell every time I hear the word yiff it makes me wish internet protocol supported the ablity to reach through the web and smash somes face into their own monitor.
I use the word yiff, but only when taking about furry cybersex, otherwise it's sex.
Its really strange how so many people need to stress these ten rules or some variation of them over and over. I suspect most folks don't need these...and the people that do need theses rules don't have enough clue to take them to heart or even read them...other than to complain.
Keep on keepin' on.
(and why aren't there more long ears in this world?)
and the reason there are so few long ears is because we are a separate level of awesome that most people can't reach ;p also it would suck if there were more, because then we would be less unique
