Cursing or somehow else make an inappropriate post? Lugnet will email you, ask
you to cancel your post. If you refuse, you will be suspended for a few days
- but the post will remain. If you refuse to acknowledge that the ToS applies
to you (a la Marchetti), then you will be suspended until you acknowledge it.

Just a minor point--I don’t believe that Richard ever publicly declared a belief
that the TOS shouldn’t apply to him. In fact, in
this post, he explicitly
acknowledges Todd’s right to ban him, and Richard goes out of his way to affirm
that he bears no Todd ill will, stating further that none of the admins had
mistreated him either.
Richard’s complaint, I believe, wasn’t that the TOS shouldn’t apply to him but
rather that the TOS was by its very nature an inefficient policing instrument
that is, at times, seemingly unevenly applied.
Regardless of one’s opinion of Richard, it would be incorrect to accuse him of
demanding special treatment for himself.
Dave!
