Well, the last time I ran into this was the way IAR is
worded. For such a
short rule it has a huge flaw: it says you can only ignore rules for the
purpose of improving or maintaining the encyclopedia. The result is people
constantly claiming that you can't ignore rules for BLP or privacy concerns,
since helping the BLP subject is not a form of improving the encyclopedia.
Obviously it would be overkill to edit IAR itself, but nobody was even
interested on the talk page of WIARM, except one person who said that it's
okay that's badly worded because our rules don't literally mean what they say.
Handy guide to IAR:
If the reactions to your actions when you try to apply IAR are "you're
clueless", then perhaps you don't understand IAR.
But, by all means, do please keep posting to wikien-l about IAR.
