There's no policy on Wikipedia saying you have to
be Mr. Nice Guy.
[[Wikipedia:Civility]]
So let me get this straight about the real policy: if
you're in favor
with the admins and you make an accusation of hypocrisy with an
accusation, it's ok, but if you're not, you get banned. Gotcha.
The rules are explicitly different for Nathan J. Yoder; that's what a
short-leash personal attack parole, such as you've been put on, means. Any
admin feels you've made a personal attack, *ZAP*. Having run out of words,
we've had to resort to [[B. F. Skinner]] and the lessons of Professor
Cattleprod.
If you really don't want the choke chain to bite, I strongly suggest doing
your best not to say anything that could *conceivably* be taken as a
personal attack, since you don't have much of a feel for what is and isn't.
You're quite capable of writing sensible, well thought-out emails that
contribute quality to the discussion, you sent one today and one yesterday.
This is the only reason you haven't just been kicked off.
