Ok, so if a set of rules has already been agreed to, where can I find a copy?

Sounds you ARE ready to implement a program of censorship. That's a very broad and all-encompassing kind of statement that you made. When you make the judgement that someone has commited a violation of the rules, then any and all forms of action are ok in response?

I guess that you think that your flaming was provoked, and thus acceptable:
> Your whole free-speech rap is a bit "thread bare," so to speak.

Would you call your remark informative and level-headed? Sounds more like a cheap shot to me. I'm sure many censors would disallow the comments that you posted. I took no issue with your remarks until I read your last sentence.

> No one wants to play the role of "posting policeman,"
Oh really? It sounds like you do. As you once posted:

> I'm glad to hear someone else stick their necks out to try
> to reduce the chatter on this thread.

Look, I agree that social pressure is the way to make this work. My point in my previous posting was that ... enough is enough ... too much pressure invites more negativity, as I'm sure replies to this posting will bear out.

You could have just left it alone because the job was already done. You chose to provoke a confrontation with me instead.
