Free speech rules, but here are some things that don't: anything unlawful, harassing, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, abusive, threatening, harmful, vulgar, obscene, tortuous, improper or otherwise objectionable. The full document of "Terms of Use" is a URL posted on every screen we use here on SI.
The webmistress URL is at the very bottom of most of the pages.
If you see a post you feel qualifies under the above rules, send that URL to the webmistress via email and she will make a ruling. Many people have probably crossed the line lately, and this thread may become sane again, temporarily, if a few more get the suspension. The more of us that complain, the more likely that action, will be taken.
