The subject was well defined as explained. Many will agree with the viewpoint
that rules that cannot be effectively enforced should be avoided. Some even say
that such rules contribute to undermining respect for the rules. The feeling is
that the mark of good rules is effective enforcement. This is a powerful
argument. However, there is another viewpoint I would like to express, namely
that the rules aren't just a set of laws to enforce, but rather the rules of the
game define the game.

>Obviously that is done to provoke responses on your posts.
What's the problem with that ? It resulted in a nice debate :)

Server authorities do this all the time. They criminalyze advanced chess
players, it is an assessment, a judgment, all of which exist only in the
mind of the accuser.
