You're more than welcome to debate and/or offend as you see fit... no harm will befall you as a result. But please bear in mind that the rules are what make this community possible... without them, this site would have gone the way of so many others... into the ether when running them became more trouble than it's worth for their owners.
However, because of the efforts of the BEA Owner, his webmasters over the years, the mods and the site users themselves, this place is still here. The rather finite list of rules we presently have distill what we've learned thus far about practical necessities in this ongoing effort. I.e.: when something is discovered to be a problem serious enough to jeopardize the existence of the site itself, action is taken to prevent it in the future... including the implementation of a rule designed to prevent the problem from that point on.
You're free to continue to make sweeping generalizations all you like, but the fact of the matter is that without what you so blithely condemn as contradictory and absurd, there'd soon be no forum or site here at all. Rather than simply offer vague and unconstructive criticism, if you've got a specific practical suggestion about how something might be improved then by all means: share it with the rest of us... our ears are open. The rules aren't perfect, nor are any of us who enforce them... if you've got a better idea let us know.
