There's only one part which I found difficult and that was the implication that no-one was allowed to 'argue' with or challenge the Admin. I can agree if you mean heated arguments which become personal but I think it's far to much like a dictatorship if someone can't have a reasonable discussion or debate if opinions differ.
Have I misunderstood the rule?
Publicly arguing with admin or moderators, I believe is what we stated.
We're not here to have a public slanging match, however were always open to adult conversation via our email addresses so that we can fit our answers in around our real lives. It also saves 30 other people chucking their oar into something that more often than not doesn't concern them.
Unfortunately due to the legal pressures that can be applied to us by outside forces, when someone decides to exercise their freedom of speech, ultimately means we get it in the neck. If that means we have to be a little dictatorial occasionally then that is the price we must pay.
Most people don't cause us a
problem and the site runs very smoothly with very little tinkering from us. We let most things be aired if they are constructive and not damaging to the site or others. If you want true freedom of speech then the best way is to set up your own website or forum, and then the people that want to sue you can do and not us.
