5. there are rules and then there is wisdom and justice in enforcing them.

we have an entire judicial branch of government set up to evaluate specific cases and determine how to apply the law in each case.

note, for instance, that the opening sentence says *could* result in your posting privileges being revoked.

"terms of services" are created to give service providers the *right* to do things they want to do, without necessarily *requiring* them to do any of it.

few would argue, for instance, that a troll whose first posted is laced with tos violations shouldn't be immediately banned. they reserve the right to ban over a single post primarily and legitimately to deal with single-post trolls.

the question is not whether the rules are clear or not; the question is are there any exceptions, under what circumstances, etc. in short, should du exercise its *rights* under the tos in any particular case.
