::*Yes, well some of what you wrote I do agree with. However, hard and fast rules, like mandatory sentencing guidelines imposed on Federal Judges, to use a well-known example, also can lead, far more often, to justice being denied or perverted. With a divergent group of Administrators, I have found on other sites that their own good judgement (either before or after meting out punishment, is usually enough to protect users. Absent that, peer pressure and ultimately, perhaps, the site owner(s) (Bureaucrats here) are sufficient brakes on abuse. I do recognize the validity in the scenario you paint above, and have lived it on other sites, and even here. No amount of specificity will protect all of the people, all of the time. There will always be dissension as to punishment, and there will always be what some consider abuse, no matter the precautions, but I would rather have some leeway, than be forced to block someone for a minor offense or mistake. --~ [[User:TK|TK]] <sup>[[User_talk:TK|MyTalk]]</sup> 21:40, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

:::*Let's look at some definitions of family:[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/family] http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/family:
:::"8. the staff, or body of assistants, of an official: the office family.
:::9. a group of related things or people: the family of romantic poets; the halogen family of elements.
:::10. a group of people who are generally not blood relations but who share common attitudes, interests, or goals and, frequently, live together: Many hippie communes of the sixties regarded themselves as families."
:::I guess I can use whatever "family-friendly" terminology that a hippie commune would use. [[User:Sterile|Sterile]] 22:04, 12 April 2007 (EDT)
