So am I, and sometimes I go to far. That's one of Neal's jobs, keeping his staff in line. I've made more than a few mistakes, and I sometimes call myself a Nazi where the rules are concerned. But we learn, and a part of that learning is finding out how the boss wants things run. We even get to disagree sometimes. I sometimes also disagree more than I should, but Neal is always willing to listen and to talk things over rationally. It's not that hard, mainly because he makes it so. You'd probably do better than you think.
It's not really keeping anyone in line. I would hope it's more of a cooperative effort.

As for banning people who post what many consider nutty opinions, is that really the best way to approach it? I prefer to reserve banning for straight out violations of the rules. So what if one or two guys think Obama is gearing up to take over the country. That kind of thinking does not threaten my concept of reality.

Now, if someone topic spams 10 threads to the same tune, I can see pulling out the ban hammer for that.
