Writing a comprehensive set of rules forbidding every type of antisocial behavior that offends us is impossible because we each have different views about appropriate behavior and different levels of tolerance about behavior we do not condone. Therefore, that the rules may not forbid a certain type of writing does not mean that such uncivil posts are acceptable, nor does it imply that the moderators and administrators approve of such disrespectful and objectionable behavior. The moderators set the tone in their forums, so are the ultimate judge of what is permitted in their forums.
