The Houston mods

Only six of us.
Some people need to remember that they do not see the discipline which many posts receive. I, and my fellow mods, have no problem with points. There are several in this thread who know that quite well.
For those who do not know it, the penalty for rudeness is only 2 points. And it takes 25 points to get the vacation. Ever notice where there have been some real jerks on the board who are very active, then you barely hear from them for a while. They are waiting for points to drop off. It is a game to them to see how close they can get and still be here.
And let me say this, you would not like it if we followed the guidelines and treated them as rules. Rules are inflexible,
Just for instance, by the strict rule #3, Dear John in a previous post insulted the Houston mods in an open forum. Anyone who quoted his post and did not say he was wrong also insulted the mods., by repeating what he said. By us using guidelines, we can take the view that DJ truly believes what he said and was not trying to insult us. Thus no points are necessary .
This is my opinion on it, but I have been wrong in this thread once already.
