As per your last couple of statements; I agree.
I won't however conform for the reasons already given.
If I'm breaking the rules, "punish" me.
I won't cry about it nor hate anyone for doing so.
The only thing people on this list would lose is the rare and occasional
time I help someone.
I'll still be in irc on occasion, still be trolling bug reports, etc.
I swear I won't be heart broken. Have at it.
