With all the inane government policies we have to put up with, how can you possibly have a problem with such a rational restriction?

*Teacher49 did not make all those comments, I merely replied to his post.
Whether this restriction is rational or irrational is the subject of discussion and not subject to edict from by you, really.

I find it quite objectionable to have so many statements not made by me prominently attributed to me by you even if your attribution is corrected much less prominently below.

Please change your post.
