Rule 38, section II, paragraph 4, subsection 12, item d, states:
But it looks like Dex superimposed Rule 39, section XIX, paragraph 10, subsection 3, item g:Anything said about Lynn Bodoni is a personal insult, and is forbidden here, there, and everwhere. This includes, but is not limited to "Lynn is so pretty" and "Lynn thinks things". Posters violating this rule will be warned if we like them or banned if we don't.
Lest you think you have a case, I would advise you that Dex knows the rulebook better than almost anyone. Remember that he knew it well enough to invoke Rule 41, section XCLXVII, paragraph 4, subsection 9, item yyza:When shit is hitting the fan and Ed is under siege and longtime members are fleeing by the hundreds, bannings and warnings may be eschewed in favor of public chastisement and stern reminders.
Oh, sorry. Wrong item. Rule 41, section XCLXVII, paragraph 4, subsection 9, item yyzb:When Richard Nixon does something, it is not illegal.
I recommend you appoint a proxy to speak on your behalf, lest you be issued another stern reminder.When Dex advocates a board war, it is not against the rules.
