It would seem that we disagree then. My point-of-view is that the role of an individual as a member of FlyerTalk and its goals should be held apart from the role that person has outside of FlyerTalk. If your line of thinking was the standard, then it would seem to be reason that all anyone would ever have to do is create a registration wherever opinion is allowed and become exempt from those responsibilities.
I may however, be misunderstanding your point. The TOS as I understand it is for regulation of FlyerTalk members and their particular participation on FlyerTalk. I think i do however understand what you mean by a double-standard. I really see it not as a double-standard, but rather the separation of two or more parts of a persons being.
But please feel free to correct me if i am not fully understanding your point.
Thanks.
