@Rob: What is so wrong about priming the pump of a discussion? Why is argument immediately condemned here?
Uh ... I won't say what I really want to say, But, this is not your place to "moderate". If you don't like the rules you are free to leave anytime you want. I happen to agree 110% with Robs views on moderation. It's how I would moderate this place if I so choose to start a forum like this.
If you want to have trolls running around and seeing who can bait the next person fine. Start up your own site and see how it goes.
Wishing you lot's of luck. In the meantime respect the moderators wishes.

Thankfully for all of us, Rob is a more tolerant moderator than you would prove to be, were you to find yourself in a position to "moderate this place." Thus far he has allowed me the freedom to challenge some of his ideas, from time to time, and defended himself vigorously when he felt the need (rather than merely booting me off the forum for daring to have an independent thought) and for that I am and shall remain in his debt.
And in the meantime, I will write what I please, thank you. Respect is something to be earned. Rob has earned mine. You have yet to.
@KathyH: Yours was a well placed reminder of the dignity of the Hawaiian monarchy at the time of its usurpation by the forces of greed. It was not a proud moment for America, to be sure.
