Petz,

Q: What do you call it when you have to scroll down several times to read all the rules for a posting board?

A: The antithesis of what the Internet and message boards are all about in the first place.

I think we should just see how it goes before enacting anymore rules. I think that things should calm down now...

John,

All your suggestions make a lot of sense.

On the other hand, most of them would no longer be needed with Paul suspended. Paul has been the main (and perhaps only) offender to most of the new rules you proposed.

If we decide to bring back Paul, I will most definitely institute some or all of your suggestions. As you said, problem with Paul was less what he said and more how he said it and how often. Such posting habits turned this board to a pissing match that the ignore button could not fix. With Paul likely gone, I think this board should become much more functional.

Re:"I would like to propose some additional rules to make this a better thread."

Did you develop these Rules in consultation with the ever tolerant Taliban or with the AMerican Taliban of Robertson/Falwell? Both use religious police and practice thought control. Here the religion is the AMD Taliban
