NewYorkBrad, How is your commenting on it better than Russavia commenting on it? I am pretty sure everybody who takes the time to join an email list like this would agree, starting an article for retaliatory reasons is an abhorrent practice. But surely you can't be claiming it doesn't happen? If it happens on our sites, and is a problem, how can mentioning it be forbidden? That doesn't seem like a wise policy to me.
I will grant that Russavia used a higher degree of snark than I would have personally chosen. But if snark is going to be against the rules around here...well, I'll put it this way -- I'll be interested to see how that transition goes.
