> The issue regarding the limiting of consecutive posting was contentious and drew heated debate. I believe that it was after much deliberation and with much reluctance that Dr. Bob decided to implement a 3 consecutive post limit. For the most part, repetitive consecutive posting has not been a problem, and the need for a limit is not normally apparant. However, I think certain historic posting behaviors demonstrated a need for a change in posting policy. It is not important who was responsible for these behaviors. Once the need for change was demonstrated, it no longer mattered.
I get that, I just feel that this situation may possibly have a better solution than making a rule. It reminds me of when people make a law about something they don't agree with, but don't question whether making a law is actually the right solution. God, I hope that doesn't sound bad. There's a reason I avoid admin. Its too difficult to have a conflicting conversation. Not because we're too anal to have a civil conversation, but because it is SO EASY to misinterpret the written word. There are no expressions, tone, or body language involved. It is unbelievingly easy to interpret what someone says in an entirely different way than they intended it.
