    I must not-so-humbly disagree. I am the one who started these complaints
    about the list rules not being followed and dishonest debate tactics being
    used. I did it for my own reasons, and not at the urging of any of the
    individuals I defended. Likewise, I was not under attack nor even part of
    the conversations when I started these threads.

    There is no connection between anybody losing any political arguments and
    the enforcement of the list rules. The list rules should be obeyed as a
    matter of personal honor, because each of us pledged to do so when we
    joined. The weakness is not on the side of those asking the rules be
    enforced. It is on the side of those who made promises they were not able
    to keep.
