I won't speak for others, but I believe that the admins have the right and
responsibilty to enforce the ToU. It is, after all, your house--should your ToU
in your house require all people to take of their shoes when they come in, then
the shoes must come off, and you have the 'responsibility and right' to enforce
this rule.
If there is vagueness where the rules are concerned, on the other hand, or the
rules are not applied equally, or there's 'double-speak' ('we don't censor but
you will have to censor or we will ban you') then these things need to be
addressed.
I support the admins but I am not a sycophant for the admins.
