Rules are not based around the reasonable people. They are based around the trouble makers. If everyone was like you bunny we would not need rules at all.

- I think the problem is tone, not content/opinion. Inevitably, it seems to me, the issues arise when people stop talking about what people say and start talking about why they say it. Note that you accused Hopey of hating you - I would dispute your ability to know that, unless you've had lots of discussions I'm not privvy to. I pretty much agree with his characterisation that he is sarcastic but not abusive. Similarly with lok2thabrain, though I tend to scan past the 'you-said, he-said' threads so perhaps I'm just missing bits.[/quote]
Well, I disagree. Hopey (even if not as of late due to him not posting) and I have a long history together. In any event, I am not claiming to know his inner most thoughts, but how I perceive them. If I told you that I believed Our House like me, would you question my judgement? Probably not.

"Do you have an answer?" posted every few weeks in a debate thread with some unanswered questions doesnt sound like harrassment to me. "Do you have an answer or are you hiding like usual you intellectually dishonest, moronic, lolbad-moderator." seems unreasonable.
Again, I agree. But the problem is that the later is why we are here, not the former. What my rule is there for is to prevent the latter.
And I know that it was offered to you before, but if you have changed your mind about being a mod shoot me a PM.
