That is exactly the Netiquette stance under the links at the top of the front page.
Netiquette is fine but consists of rules of thumb. It's advisory, and you're free to follow it for yourself. You're not free to impose your interpretation of it, or a rigid view of it regardless of context, on others.
Netiquette also says attack the post, not the poster. Yet we've had practitioners of post policing long since finding ways to respect the letter of that but not the spirit, especially in attacking people whose opinions they don't like. ("I didn't call you a moron. I said stop putting up moronic posts.")
A more powerful thing Netiquette says, IMO, is don't tell others how to post. It's our job, as mods, to decide what's appropriate for the board and within the rules and what isn't.
In doing that job, BTW, we much appreciate PMs and Reported Posts, as we can't be here reading everything every second. That board citizenship route is much preferable to calling someone out yourself.
Anyway, thanks to Mike DiMauro we've now had two threads on the subject of KML's weight that brought the post policing issue into acute focus, though we've actually been working on it for longer than most people may have noticed.
I warned at the beginning that this would turn into yet another joust about what can be said here rather than a discussion of the ostensible topic.
The admin stated a little earlier that it's OK on this forum to discuss, civilly, the topic of player weight. That's the policy. To reiterate, we're not going to have a big public debate on board policy. PM us if you like. We won't be going down this road again in another thread started by the partisans on either side.
