Yes, there should be little room for ruckusii (that's latin for more than
one ruckus).

But this is the point: this incident aside, I support, encourage and
wholeheartedly embrace policing (see rant before about community policing).
My appreciation for community policing cannot be disputed.
The specifics of this situation, tho, is what's important here, for that is
what I replied to. We can make general blanket statements like 'if
hypothetical so-'n-so was doing this in such-'n-such group, then his or her
hands should be slapped'. It's a general guideline and I approve of general
guidelines for then we all know where the boundaries are.
However, specifically, When it was pointed out quite nicely and politely by
Larry (policing with respect) that Bram may have stepped across the line,
and Bram wrote an equally respectful, albeit banter-ish response, and
immediately this incident gets upgraded to the .admin.general group 'cause
Larry didn't think Bram was getting the point, is the *important* specifics
in this matter.
It's like (here comes another Dave scenario)
Person 1 - "Hey, I think you did something wrong, mayhaps you should rethink
this..."
Person 2 - "Well thanks for pointing that out--wasn't that a funny thing I did."
(up to now it's just a polite discussion)
Person 1 - "Mom!!! He's not listening to me when I tell him he's doing
something wrong!!!"
<Stunned silence from person 2, not realizing it could escalate this fast>
That's the specifics. And this is what we have to avoid. I also could
point out that, again, imho, the situation shouldn't have been brought up at
all for I believe the post was legit to begin with.
