Rules are for a purpose and support the community.  Those wishing to
partake of that communities fruits must abide by it's rules.  It is no
different than inviting someone into your house and advising them that you
have a "no smoking" edict.  If they cannot abide by that edict, they are
banned or expelled....  It is merely common courtesy, one who does not
abide is slapping your face, especially when knowling, purposly showing
disrespect.
