3. I think Ptah (I love that name for some reason) has it right.

The 2013 post by Skinner was probably in response to an influx of trolls or possibly a small group splintered off and was making life hell here. I was here when a group left and began their own site.

The rules are looser regarding criticism of Democrat candidates.....jk....Democratic candidates during the primary season.

I don't know about the 5 hidden posts rule. I am sure that after four years of drunken rage I have at least that many.

Just be honest and apologize when you know you were out of line.

And don't look at your hidden posts. It is embarrassing.
