Doesn't anyone else feel that this is all a bit ridiculous and patronising? There are already meant to be "
Site Rules" on AB, so why is my favourite section, News, being singled out for what amounts to a children's charter of what is acceptable and what's not? Acceptable, that is, according to the Ed who we all know is always right, as has been pointed out on numerous occasions.
It would be fair to say that the vast majority of News contributors are adults? Judging by the topics debated? Why, therefore, are we being singled out for "extra rules"? Are we not "adult enough" to interpret comments by other contributors in our own way?
I guess my comments will put me firmly into the Ed's "whiner" category?
