As I have written before, I disagree with "Ignore All Rules" because
there are some rules that should NOT be ignored. Ignore all rules is a
good rule when applied to rules about what the lay-out of Wikipedia
pages should look like. Not when it is applied to rules that ensure
that people in positions of responsibility, like Steward, have the
trust of the populace.
