So in other words, if you disagree with a group of people, then you cannot discuss anymore??
i.e. the witch hunt mentality.
Your rules but that is an incredible flaw.
It doesn't encourage new ideas, it only enforces everyone to think like a bunch of androids.
If you are not breaking the rules like calling names and making personal attacks then one shouldn't be punished. People get annoyed when they are wrong....a "mob" is no different. As you will see with the responses to this very post. ::)
The "suffering" of the forum comes from not allowing people to express new ideas. Namecalling should be reprimanded FIRST. "Annoying" on the other hand comes mostly from people that have no skill in debate. There is no reason to get angry over someone having a different view then yours.

Disagreeing is one thing, knowingly disagreeing just for the fun of it and to stir the pot is another. What was going on was very obvious in most of his posts - It is called baiting.
And yes, the rule is kind of generalized and open for interpretation. But don't worry, you won't be banned just for disagreeing on a subject in the minority - even if you are wrong ;). It's when you do it over and over and over for no real reason, then throw in some insults and such... that's when you're gone.

lharles:
BYOAC rules, NOW with MORE numbers!
Not valid in all states. Void where prohibited. ;)
ChadTower:
Some may call rule 10 a flaw or too open for interpretation.
I see it as very, very clear.
The spirit of rule 10 is "I reserve the right to kick someone out for being too much of an a-hole. What makes them an a-hole? I decide. My website, my spare time, my hosting cost, my decision."
He'd never say it that way but that's what it comes down to and I fully agree with it.
BTW, sounds like it has been a banner day for Peale.

Mission accomplished! ;D
