Well, maybe you could think of it more as situational expectations? Most places have behavioral expectations. These are the ones at Babble. There are places to say that a statement is offensive, and this isn't one of them.
I don't like all the rules here. By my own standards, the three post rule is almost insulting. But I live by them because if I wish to post here, I have to live with them.
Which is not to say I don't post a reply to someone who obviously has more to say, so that they can continue. :)
It's worth it to me, because the people here do seem to be intelligent, and interesting to be with. If it wasn't, I'd move on.
I argue with Dr. Bob before something is enacted, though my arguments are rarely successful. After something is enacted, I either live with it or I don't because arguing with Dr. Bob can sometimes feel like bashing my head against a brick wall to me. But my father, for example, would have thoroughly enjoyed arguing with him forever. If you feel more that way, I apologize for interrupting. :)
