claims that he will never buy rybka shows that he clearly has something against
vas or rybka.

If you want not to allow some type of posts then the best way is simply to warn
the posters and not to make a big deal from the fact that people made some
mistake.

The fact that Peter decided not to buy not only rybka but also not to buy fruit
and not to buy shredder when it was best suggest that he is simply against the
best programs.

If peter thinks that in all of the cases people violated rule number 4 and if
peter is correct then it means that rule number 4 was not explained clearly
because I believe that nobody planned to do something against the rule.

I did not understand rule number 4 in the way that peter explained it and at
least part of the people also did not undertsand it in that way that forbid
discussion about vasik's post that started this thread.

I think that it is better to edit the CCC charter and give examples(without
specific name of program) to explain what is forbidden by rule number 4.
