Steve:

I do not find truthful statements to be hypocritical, so I can't agree with your premise.

Also, in logic classes I learned to disregard arguments of the extreme. To compare different behavior at different boards with being a murderer in one state and not other is an argument of the extreme and does not contribute to a resolution.

My point was that we CAN have a different board here. Many, many posters behave differently at different boards. One only needs to visit R.S.O, URC, Eteamz, McGriff's and Officialforum. The same names pop up time after time. how they post on unmoderated boards and how many pseudonyms they use when they are not required to register differs from board to board.

We CAN choose to have a different board here. The managment of Eumpire are managing it differently and have have different expectations. They continue to delete posts that contain personal attacks.

I personally do not care what happens on other boards. (Here is a comparison that is not of the extreme) Your children may misbehave at your home, but they will not be allowed to do so at my home. The same can apply to this board.

He's another comparison that is not of the extreme. I know that a certain amount of rowdy behavior will be tolerated at my corner pub. I know even more rowdy behavior will be tolerated at some east side pubs. I also know that I wam expected to have impeccable behavior when I vist the The Fairmont. Am I a hypocrite because I behave differently in different establishments that have different expecations?

No.

Here, we are all guests of Eumpire. We should be expected to behave, while we are here, as they request. If we cannot meet their expectations, then we should leave.

If you want the same kind of expectation to carry through on other boards, you should contact their managament. It all starts there.


Happy New Year,
Garth
