+1 Rules that are inconsistently observed are fundamentally unfair

If an admin or moderator deletes a post for straying near one of the 'forbidden' topics (below), and then that same (or another) admin / moderator initiates or participates in another thread on another topic clearly on that same 'forbidden list', then the value / credibility of such a list is seriously compromised.

1) Guns and Gun Control
2) Abortion
3) Religion
4) Nazi's
5) Substance Abuse
6) Politics

If someone is obviously being an asshole, I can understand a little flexibility in the enforcement of the rules. OTOH, if the target is generally a good citizen and the posts are put up with no malice and in the interest of earnest discussion, then censoring that is arbitrary and inconsistent is a poor practice. This can be unfair to members who we hope would be able to expect some measure of reasonable treatment.

OK, I've said my piece.
