Do as I say." The pre-emptive "don't break the rules" statement is not only implicit in the existence of the rule, but has been re-iterated with the announcement itself. "Follow the rules whether you like them or not" isn't a relevant response to a statement of disagreement with the rules. It's also a very disrespectful one, especially from someone who so strongly dislikes being spoken to disrespectfully. Thanks. I really appreciate the well thought out response. I still disagree with the decision. Did I miss some indication you and the other mods/Morrus could see that the discussions were leaking into threads where they didn't belong, or dragging in people who didn't want to be a part of them? Were you guys having to spend too much time moderating those threads? If not, I guess it just doesn't make any sense to me, and seems like a weak cop out, to just ban those discussion outright. If a few posters were having those discussions, but weren't dragging others in, taking the discussions to threads where they don't belong, or otherwise breaking any rules, how was it different from threads about obscure gaming things that only a few people on the forums care about or want to talk about? I mean, the thread titles warned away anyone who didn't want to participate, right?</blockquote>
