There is no double standards. Bruce was trying to say that the policy was the
same for Amir as well as Robert as well as everyone else.

If you will recall, we deleted a joke post of Fernando's and it started a huge
crapstorm. Even the moderators are not immune to post deletion when deemed
necessary. However, we as moderators HAVE been more lenient than some in the
past and have used more "Moderation: Please Behave" type of posts within the
last 4 months. If we had not taken this approach, I can think of at least a
dozen posts in the last 2 months that I would have deleted. This technique seems
to work to some level, but no solution is perfect.

As Dann has repeatedly stated, it's best when people moderate themselves (both
in writing and in reading).
