Glad you KNOW that story. Definatively and in totality. > Some people have the personal > power to inspire others to improve their > lives and live them on a higher level. Do you feel that you have such power? Sorry if I don't have that charisma or power. I simply pointed out we have some simple, common sense guidelines. And some have forgotten them. Sorry if that offended you. > But most people don't, so they try to > accomplish the same thing by inventing > rules The guidelines have existed for years, long before your arrival on the shores of FFL. >and punishments for those who don't > follow them. If the voluntary collective determines someone to be in constant and gross violations of the guidelines [implicitly] agreed to buy all upon joining FFL, then a one or two week suspension seems fair, ok and appropriate. Punishments? You have a glass half full view IMO. > The inspiration method often works [best] Of course. All are agreed on this. The issue is what to do when inspiration -- tried many times by many -- and ignored by brash personalities -- is ineffective. And boorish "pissants" contineue to flaunt the guidelines and appear to feel they are superior and above them? > because > it's based on someone's very real personal > power. OK fourth time you have punted on this question: Who is on a power trip, and how are they powering? The suggestion, not mandate, is that the collective, not an individual, weighs in on when someone is grossly violating the long existing guidelines. >The rules method always fails because > it's based on the lack of it.
