And some people see pink elephants when there really are none.
The real issue that you seem to ignore is the enforcement of the ToS. I ask for a clearer guideline as to what is and is not acceptable because the rules are capriciously enforced. There is no consistent enforcement in OT. The TOS itself is vague enough that you could ban each and every person for a snide comment, which could be considered an insult, thus breaching teh TOS, such as your first statement in your last post. Your idea that people who have 10K posts or more should be banned for a month, or how you put it, placed on hiatus for 30 days is asinine.

Where do you get your disinformation? The legislation is designed to allow gays to openly, honestly, and to at last honorably serve in our armed forces. Like it or not, they are serving already, and have been forever under various policies including the current 'Don't Ask/Don't Tell' and even further back when they weren't technically allowed in the military.
You know, historically colored soldiers did not serve along whites. A lot of people had similar concerns about integrating colored and Caucasian soldiers, to yours regarding gays in the current debate. Thus we had units as recently as WWII of the Tuskegee Airmen, who performed very well by the way and saved many a Caucasian pilot's proverbial hind quarter. Many common sense types, such as yourself felt there was no way a colored man could be a good pilot, and of course were proved incredibly wrong.
Guess what happened with integration?
Over time, most people are able to logically overcome their previous bias' and prejudices. Some recognize their personal feelings, but are able to sublimate them without feeling the need to project their prejudice's on the rest of society. Others of course can't evolve, so what category do you consider yourself?

Amby? She never posted more than 4 threads a day or so, and they were always light hearted fun stuff, not political and never with a target audience in mind. Why pick on Amby? There are many more people who have posted a number of new threads a day and you pick on her? You seem to have unresolved issues there

Melissa, did you even bother to search for the answer to this question? I'm sorry, but you've been on this forum long enough to know that you should search first and ask questions later.
