As a libertarian of a fairly rabid sort, I want the rules to be as few as possible, and to be put in place only when absolutely necessary. I sense that as a rule, to a remarkable and admirable degree, certainly given the difficulties of the job, that is the case here. No question. I poke a little fun at the sometimes byzantine devices directed at our ne'er-do-well members, but I agree with the impulse behind giving the tricks a try. Maybe I just think you ought give the rulemakers a little poke every so often, as a sort of gadfly gesture.
There are people here who go too far by any reasonable standard. They are few, but they can be relentless, and they blow through boundaries of decency and comity far too easily, and sometimes at remarkably low levels of degradation. I had a personal experience with one of the transgressors in this matter and left the site because I would not a member of a club, so to speak, which would have him as a member. I don't wish anybody any ill will, but neither will I ring my hands when somebody gets their just deserts.
Here's a photo of Ralph Waldo Emerson. He gives really sound advice on all sorts of things:
His advice is not always comfortable: "Crime and punishment grow out of one stem. Punishment is a fruit that, unsuspected, ripens within the flower of the pleasure that concealed it." He's a hard man, makes mid-career Bill seem like Bob Ross. I taught him (well, tried to sell him, tbh) to dewy-eyed youth for decades. It was nearly as difficult as managing a football chat site.
