As I said in the OP, I'm aware that my comments may not belong in the Newcomer's section, so please do move them where they do belong.

I find it absurd that all that would be allowed is cheerleading, not warnings. How are people to make a balanced judgement with only half the story?

Finally, you can't shrug off the attacks on me, attempts to start a fight, as "human nature". Isn't it your job to first and foremost enforce the rules here? Why are you allowing me to be attacked in this thread?

I will say I'm not at all surprised. Based on the behavior of my brother and his AA cronies, it's a culture of bullying.
