Particularly with trolls this posed a problem because when trolls do nothing but sling personal insults, there isn't a damn thing we could do about it as it was not against our rules.
*nods* Indeed. I know that Edward was being quite insulting to every atheist here, but nothing could really be done about it. I get it. I really do. I just don't like changes that add restriction where restriction was lacking before. I liked the feeling of freedom, even if I didn't often take advantage of it myself (not to say I never have). As I said... it won't really effect me, so I shouldn't be making such a big deal out of it, but I'm also not in favor of it, so I can't help saying so. Heh! Besides... it's better to bring it all out in the open like this than to leave it. I'm probably not the only one that reacted this way, so... it's good for any others to see these posts from the admins.
It's all good.
