Well, sure we are lab rats. But we (on good days) are cognizant lab rats and can change some behaviors just knowing that if we want.
I really have less problem with the cash solicitation blocks. At least this is a rule you can see applied evenly. Of course the intentions were great, and I'll miss them a lot but it *is* a case of 'rules is rules.'
It's the subjective ones I have real problems with. There is, human nature being human nature, too much opportunity for bias and/or past history to slip in.
I'd like to see it a bit more like criminal court:) There are cases guilt is obvious - like the current subject lines on social or cases where someone is called a moron (or worse.) But conviction should be based on 'beyond a reasonable doubt.'
At least that would seem more fair to me.....
