Fine. No more guidelines if that pleases you. How about simple abiding by the 15 guidelines in place for years? >and "enforcing" > them is Just Another Power Trip.

I have not said anything you have not siad your selves at times: - FFL was / has been a great place (aka the way it was upon yur discovery of it) - FFL has done downhill since the arrival of the AMTers I am suggesting a reason for that is that AMTers, and some others, are not awre of, or are ignoring the guidelines that helped create the environment in FFL that you so cherised upon yur arrival. > them with "guidelines" and > "enforcement" is pretty much always a > Power Trip and almost never works. Third time you have repeated "power trips" What in my comments "triggered' this, IMO, blind trasnformations of "suggestions to improve FFL" into "powertrips"? Have you had bad experiences from "powertrips" in the past? Have they made you over-sensitive to the potential to power trips? > I mean...that's what the TMO does, right? Reminding people that there are 15 existing guidelines, and asking how we can get back to the days when people spontaneously followed them -- how is that equivalent to the excesses [implied] of the TMO over the years? > All you have to do is look at that organi- > zation and see how well that approach works. > Is that *really* what you want Fairfield > Life to become?
