Had I posted a lengthy diatribe against the KCBS, complained bitterly for
weeks, and insisted that others leave the society, you'd have a point. But
I simply made a post in a public newsgroup questioning the logic of a
couple of petty rules. I think the KCBS is string enough to stand it.

A couple of other posters spoke up to either agree with me or explain the
logic behind the rule. I appreciate those posters whether I agreed with
them or not.

But someone shouldn't be treated like a misbehaving child for simply
questioning rules. It'd be simple enough to either explain the logic behind
the rules or ignore the offending post. These sorts of attacks drive new
posters and lurkers away.
