Is there any chance that we could have a link to "Rule 20 of Da Rulz" at the end of any post to which you think this rule applies? That way, we’ll know to think twice before contradicting.
I don’t want to allude expressly to Rule 20 in the post because it could disturb the person asking the pastoral question (not disturbing them unnecessarily being the goal of Rule 20), so tell you what: For posts subject to Rule 20, I’ll simply put a "20" at the bottom of the post and regular blog readers will know what I mean. How’s that? (Rule 20 has now been modified to mention this so new readers can get up to speed on it.)
Another reader writes:
I think rule 1 should also be amended so that it is consistent with rule 20: "1. People are welcome to disagree with me in the comments boxes as long as they are polite. I don’t mind disagreement. I do mind rudeness."
DONE.
