Really, Eric, it's fine. I'm not trying to protect anyone any more than we're expected to. If you know anything about the way I moderate (I've been a mod in the Political forum for years now, and I was mod in both Iberian forums), you know I'm actually very lenient and hardly ever take any action. That's why Trancer-X had a melt down here, if you recall it.
We're just making the rules clearer (I didn't just come here and post it on a whim, this has been discussed for a while now). And if that happened again, under the very same circumstances, I'd probably have just closed the thread first (as that's an option available to me now).
I mean, this is already your second alt this week, and instead of following the rules and suspending this account, I'm letting you have your say because I think it's important! Not really tyrannical, is it?
