Everybody must accept them when registering here (whether you read them or not )

I don't want to welcome new visitors by throwing a rule book on them

I'm not personally involved, and this is why I was made admin. If I had been years ago, I'd have decided years ago.
I am now, and I will decide now.
If he behaves, he can stay (... but he won't), one more provocative attack, and the ban hammer will fall.
If there are problems like this with other users we'll talk about that, even if it's one of us, We'll work it out individually, we can do it (Yes, we can )
