Personally I don't give a fractional damn what kind of bizarre turf division may
be happening in this current situation.

I am not about to become involved in members' private disputes such as: "You
promised never to misspell 'their' again, and there you went, you did it again,
I'm going to kill you, you lying jerk."

If someone wants to do that kind of stuff, they can do it by email, and please
leave the moderators out of it.  Meanwhile, each post here will be evaluated as
to its conformance with the charter, which is not re-negotiable on an
inter-member basis.

To be more clear, if A calls B a lying pig-dog and threatens to hang him from a
lamp post and beat him with a broomstick, and B writes this wonderful post
explaining that he forgives A because he thinks A has had too much sun recently,
B's post will be ignored by the moderators (I presume to speak for us all, but I
haven't discussed this with them) and A will get some email.

This protects everyone, simplifies everything, and prevents the moderators from
having to interpret contracts between individual CCC members.

I hope this is clear.
