Why is that the only part of the CoC that you seem to want enforced in this subforum though? It's really coming across that way with all of your posts, you've only complained about 1 thing and that's "personal attacks".
Why do the other parts of the forum rules not seem to matter much to you? We shouldn't be allowed to generalize entire groups of people and say racist things about them without being called an idiot for doing so. You've yet to address any of my posts which I've mentioned the whole "enforce the rules but only the ones that I specifically want enforced" ordeal. I understand that we all want to pick and choose which rules we like, but it's not really fair for some people to be able to have a ridiculous opinion without others being able to discuss that opinion. If you do want every little piece of the CoC enforced, then I've misjudged your opinion, but all that you keep referring to is the name calling. You don't seem overly concerned about the rampant racism and homophobia, which is quite odd that you take more issue with 1 person being called an "idiot" rather than thousands of people being generalized and bashed.
When it comes to politics and religion, the person talking about the subject is just as much relevant to the conversation as the subject matter is, and that's just the way it is whether you refuse to admit it or not. Your opinions are subject to debate in this type of forum, I don't know how this could possibly be not understood by anyone that has ever discussed politics or religion with others. I realize that you just want to post things like "but that's enough about me" 500 more times, but in reality, the fact that they're YOUR opinions on these topics means that YOU and YOUR opinions will be discussed. I could understand your point if you were talking about the football subforums, but you can't honestly expect the rules to be the same when discussing sports opposed to discussing politics/religion. Different rules need to be in place for a subforum like this to survive, you can't pretend that separating the post from the poster can realistically happen when debating this type of subject matter.
