A lot of work and brain has been put in all that stuff.

What I can't understand is, why you all wanna change those unwritten FT rules. More than 99 % of all FT'ers are behaving the "right way". What I learned in my life is:
Don't try to implement rules just to get the exceptions (or execeptional behavior) solved. Rules are to be set to regulate the "usual" things.
If moderators will monitor the boards we will start fighting with the interpretion of those guys in the future.
What happened over the last weeks and months is not only to blame on OZ but on a very few others as well, who with obvious lust answered the flaming.

We don't need rules or moderators for just 5-7 people.
The only rule would be ... ignoring - as was advised here on these boards over and over again from the most reasonable members.

Imagine these boards being your favorite bar: Hundreds of people each and every night. People you like to meet and talk to - many of 'em you had become friends. Some of 'em you just don't like very much. In the back there is one who is rude, offensive and aggressive (and some others like to fight with him and argue). Some nights he's yelling so that everybody can and must listen. Some times this guy even offends you or one of your friends on his way to the bathroom. Well he's just one out of a hundred or so nice people.

What would you do: Call the police ? What for ? Call the bartender or the owner to "monitor" this guy (these guys) ? Leave and never come back to a place, where you have many friends.

C'mon ... the internet is a mirror of the real life
