Sure, I agree, I've had to go back and quickly delete my own posts after realizing they were much too harsh.

On the other hand, there are posters who are endlessly pushing an idea that is probably wrong. Let them work through the idea once in an ATM thread, and if doesn't fly, then it's covered by the rules already. If you keep inserting the idea into everything, without anything new to add, then you're up for banning. Levity and satire might be an exception; I plan on spray painting my backyard to find the invisible dwarf.

Open-minded includes recognizing that your idea might be wrong, and shutting up about it when everybody goes "Oh, give it a rest!"
