I don't think these were intended as rules. Not even guidelines, no one is bound by any agreement to follow them or else, its just a few ideas assembled to make for what some of us think would be more productive debates. These aren't mandatory at all, nor should they be taken as such.
Right, that's what I emphasized in the OP. But it was inspired by a number of bannings that resulted from some conversations that didn't go well. See the locked thread on electric cosmos.
