The big problem that C_steam and other mods have is that we don't check every thread and every post. We don't have time so we rely on people to put complaints where we can see them.
Blanket assertions are never going to be dealt with. We need times, dates and posts with links so that we can look at the offensive material and consider the problem. Some people do get treated more harshly than others on the face of it, but you don't know what we know about past performance.
If people are posting cut and pastes from their blogs or websites with no changes, as Claire was doing for instance, then they are spamming us and other sites in all probability. Some people always post links to their sites and are not posting to debate here, but to advertise their, sometimes commercial, websites.
Direct insults against individuals are not allowed, but a little bit of subtlety and politeness is likely to be okay. People can take disagreements in the spirit in which they are intended.
Ken has not pointed to a particular post and I'm not interested in reading the collected works of Cassie. Cassie can break up as many political parties as he likes, that is their problem. This is a debating forum.
