And i believe it has been burnt by the image-terrorists.

Dear Team Urist McMineSquad

Dear Urist McHawler,
Please remove all the bolts outside.  They are really messing with the defensive systems.

Dear Administration,

We need mail carriers to deliver 173 pages of mail to our lovely dwarves.

You now have 200 adamantine clad badgers in the heart of your fortress.

I wish I did, then I could melt them...

[Tlc2011]

Dear Urist McStupidDwarf

Please do not barricade yourself outside of the fortress.

Yes, that IS a giant firebreathing dragon coming at you.

Yes, you are so damn stupid that you're going to DIE because of it.

Warning, large image

Dumbass dwarves these days...

[Loud Whispers]

Dumb Dwarf seems a bit redundant doesn't it?

Dear mrs. Uristine McMiner, mother of 15, and owner of 20 cats:

The administration of the hallowed halls of DeathBellows, the Scorching Tunnels would like to take this opportunity to remind you that while stone hauling is an important duty that all proud dwarves should be willinng to do, it is not appropriate to attempt to haul said stones from shafts designated as magma conduits or water aqueducts. This is not the first time that you, your 15 children, and half the cats in the fortress have ventured to the deepest recesses of such designated tunnels to fetch a block of orthoclase, necessitating the immediate shutdown of the entire stone industry, and block forbiddance of all stone materials for you to take the hint.

In the future, the administration of DeathBellows, the Scorching Tunnels will consider you, your 15 children, and 20 cats to be expendable, and will not hesitate to initiate operations of these completed subterene structures.  For your safety, and the safety of others, please take this cordial and final warning to heart, and stick to hauling only stones that are not in such designated areas.

Yours in drunkeness,
The Baron Urist McRummyGuts

[Kogut]

you can forbid also single stones (dbF AFAIK)

This particular dorf won't take the hint any other way. Forbid the stone she is hauling? "Oh, ok, I'll just grab "that" one over there!" 

She has a penchant for going to the very very bottom of such shafts to pick her hauling target, taking all her children and pets with her.  Even with nice, wide conduits, all those entities trying to roam brainlessly up and down the shaft causes traffic jams, and it can take more than 15 minutes for them all to clear out. 

This is very irritating when you are ready to release the magma, and don't really care about the stone in the conduit, because you are expecting to make tons and tons of manufactured obsidian instead.  Nope... there she is..... being "helpful" again....

To make matters worse, she is friends with everyone else in the fort, and just killing her would initiate a tantrum spiral. It's as if she knows it, and is flaunting it at me.  She is also the chief medical dorf, and without the hauling labor, has nothing to do. Probably why she has 15 kids.

Forbid stone hauling for her and make her do some random common job like cooking, farming or plant gathering to keep her occupied.
