Is there any possibility that the complaint, or the system itself are
somehow ridiculous at least a bit (especially when stretched)?

This is a key point - I think Todd covered it. Rules do exist, and they should
be respected. However, enforcing them in a "jobs worth" manner just alienates
everyone. If we all sifted through each and every post and winged about
infractions at the very edge of the ToU things would be rather dull here...
