To all members of the justice establishment: sometimes rules are the problem and not the solution.
Randy has enough to worry about and a business to run without "run to Daddy" becoming the norm. We will destroy these fora if we continually take up his time with trivia.
Outside of OMNI (which I healthily ignore) the problem of non-transparency diminishes FlyerTalk. Particularly, we have the circumstance of IndustrialPatent and the following dissonances:
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">I have requested my account to be deleted/unregistered and thus will no longer be participating on FlyerTalk. It’s been a lot of fun, but I’ve felt for awhile that it’s time to move on. Best wishes to everyone.</font>
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Posts that contain explicit, obscene or vulgar images, or links to such images, will be removed without notice and accounts subject to deletion! </font>
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">due to alleged complaints from certain users that he was a disruptive influence and was threatening them</font>
It would be much better for healthy participation on these boards if timeouts were explicitly given and explained.
When litigiousness and arcane rules supplant justice, and opacity in the service of lawsuit-avoidance overrules clarity of enforcement, we are in the long run doomed.
