    Difficult, doable but difficult

    6. Though shalt treat with kindness, thy Forum neighbor's newest coin purchase,
    even if it appears to be a shorn of all virtue and attractiveness.

    Bear is a diplomat.

    15.Though mayest subtract up to five rules of your choice. Thus ,bringing the actual total to 10.

    Ten is good! Check the comma after "Thus..." (Hey, even a wise ol' Bear can't good ALL the time!)

    Fun Post.
    Coin ON!

    Looks like he invoked rule 15.
    Also, "You Sucketh [sic]" should really be "Thou Suckest™" or "You Suck™"
