Dappered Threads is open

The Dappered Forum: threads.dappered.com

Awhile back we asked if you guys wanted a forum. And the response was an apparant resounding yes. But then again,were guys who didn’t want to leave comments in a forum really going to leave comments on a post saying they weren’t for a forum where they wouldn’t be leaving comments anyway?

Right.

But we’ve got it up and going, a few moderators are on board, and it’s set for you guys to use. Same rules for here apply for there. And those rules can really be boiled down to just one, which can be best described by the most likely on her way out Yahoo! CEO Carol Bartz:

There has to be a no-asshole rule. We’ll go through the whole interview, and I’ll say, “I have one last question. I don’t work with assholes. Are you one?” Some say, “What a great question! I want to work in a place that’s like that.” But you’d be amazed at how many others hear that question and look like they’ve just been caught. Their expressions say: I guess I’m an asshole.

– Carol Bartz, as told to Esquire Magazine

Like any internet forum where people sit behind computer screens instead of on bar stools, park benches, or exist in any other face to face situation, some might choose to become assholes. They’ll be weeded out, and for whatever reason, those types don’t seem to be the norm here as it is. Which is terrific.

Special thanks to reader John for suggesting the threads name, and as always… thank you for your support.
