Your attitude is why many people look on your posts with disdain, Tom.

It also sets up a false premise.

The rule is not set up to alienate new users, and as long as people are
simply *and* *politely* pointed to the rules, new users should *not* be
offended when this is pointed out to them, and the vast majority *would*
not be offended - exceptions being people like you...

Another false premise... the posting guidelines do not cause harm and
are not ridiculous - in fact, when properly followed, they cause
*goodness*...

What *is* ridiculous and *does* cause harm is when people intentionally
misrepresent them in order to support their own predilection for
laziness - like you have been doing since this subject first came up.

No, and no, but of course, your comparison is about as appropriate as
comparing someone who kills a mosquito that is pestering them to a child
rapist/murderer.
