My mind has told me to be quiet. It doesn't allow me to express my snapshot thoughts anymore. I have been taken over by a higher power that does not let me sleep. I used to love to snapshot my brain but I can no longer do so. So for now my cells have been redirected to tcpdumps. Which reminds me. Do you implicitly deny or implicitly allow? I implicitly deny but Michelle implicitly allows. When I first meet you I really don't like you. But eventually I will add an "allow" rule for you. However when Michelle first meets someone she likes them. But eventually, she may just add a "deny" rule for you. Most firewalls are shipped now with a default implicit deny rule since it works so much better. But the Cisco PIX firewalls still ship with an implicit allow rule for outgoing traffic only. Cisco is hard to doubt. Which is right?

What is right here may only work for me... so beware!
Allow... 'cause it's the right thing. Try to add the "deny" status later on when proven 150 times that it's the right thing to do.
Either way, you are screwed - just look at ME!

I always look at the traffic before I decide if I should allow or deny. A quick peak at the payload and if it looks like shit then it probably is and I deny it. If it looks good I'll allow it and check it every time for a while before I trust it completly.

You are allowed to deny........
I am dealing with an individual from who I just get a weird "vibe" . My default is to usually to allow until proven negative. Not in this case. I invoke "special circumstance" and deny him without "just cause".
You are allowed to deny........
The only reason that you should change is if your failure rate as far as judgement is concerned is less than personally satisfactory.
In your case I would say to you.
Be free to deny as you normally would but you are allowed to allow.

I'm kind of whimsical on this one. I generally try to allow. But there are times when someone just sets the wrong way with me. In that case, the deny is my immediate response. I am sometimes wrong about that and later allow but usually, I'm right on.

I think I'm probably more of an allow person, but it takes a lot to move someone from Acquaintance to Friend.

I am an allow person. I accept everyone for who they are. It takes a lot to become denied in my book but I may exercise caution with some. I don’t discriminate upon race, sex, religion, national origin, physical disability, intelligence, looks, wisdom or demeanor. Everyone is different and has to go through life with the hand they were dealt. Try putting yourself in their shoes before making any judgments. I have had plenty of people that have pissed me off but even then it’s not grounds for deny. You kind of feel for them, something in their life must not be going well. You can choose not to associate with that person but don’t discriminate against them. It’s just unfair and you are just continuing the vicious cycle. You probably have no idea what they are going through. In this world you don’t want any enemies. I feel lucky that I have only had to deny once. The more people you befriend the further you will go in a higher-level type of way.

SCIN man I am not even sure what the hell you just said but I usually assume the best from everyone I meet. I think that everyone at least deserves that.
So tell me more about this "higher power" that won't let you sleep, maybe you have an incubus that visits you in your sleep!
