Re: Why we need rules

> Why not address the problem or concern with the individual? Not every new behavior that happens is going to generalize to the group. IMO, rules should be made when a problem behavior is seen in many posters, such as being uncivil.

If something happens once, it can happen again.

I think the main advantage of a rule is that it makes things more predictable. Posting the speed limit makes it easier for drivers and the police both. And for any deputies.

The civility rule is actually a good example. IMO, it's worked better since what's uncivil has been spelled out.
