To all in the last week or so who received a private message from me consisting only of the phrase, Noli Mentula
, I sincerely apologize. In the previous incarnation of Daniweb, sending a private message was considerably different than in the new version. I had assumed that a message would not be sent unless/until I composed it, then clicked some equivalent of Send
. You know. Like practically every other text messaging system ever invented. While trying to work through the new system with Dani I inadvertantly started conversations with several users.
To further explain noli mentula
... It fall into the realm of fake latin phrases except this one is not quit as fake as some. It is an idiom which, in effect, translates as play nice
. I consider it the most concise wording of the Golder Rule (do unto others...). In English it is commonly referred to as Wheaton's Law, after actor Wil Wheaton.
