I have a question, and REALLY hope I can ask it without this breaking down into exactly what I am talking about.....

This is a section copied directly from the TOS...

"Personal Attacks - link to this guideline
We encourage a healthy exchange of opinions. If you disagree with another member, challenge the opinion or idea - not the person. Personal attacks, insults and "flaming" will not be tolerated and will be removed, and the violator will be subject to disciplinary action. You may challenge others' points of view and opinions, but do so respectfully and thoughtfully. Attacks against groups or classes of job holders (such as Transportation Security Administration employees) will not be tolerated. "

Can I ask why the bold part (emphasis mine) is pretty much ignored by the moderators. Ironically the example agency given is the one that is allowed almost none stop.

Dont get me wrong I am not overly enamoured with TSA or what they do, but it makes no sense to me how the constant bashing in signatures, posts and the security forum in general are not in direct violation of this rule. It is so rampant on FT it is sad (not to mention monotonous)

Randy I am really curious to hear your explanation and better understand this.
