These posting rules are in addition to our Terms and Conditions
Dear Paul Garlick, I thought I'd let you know that I do NOT agree with the new posting rules. I'm afraid I had to click the agreement-button since you missed to offer the possibility to uncheck rules I do not intend to comply with. To avoid misunderstanding, I shall list them as follows:

1. Use insulting, threatening or defamatory words, pictures or other communications.
2. Post any material likley to cause undue annoyance, provocation, upset, embarrassment or alarm to any person.
3. Deliberately provoke arguments or continue arguments that have calmed down, or have had the thread closed.

5. Post any material which infringes the copyright, other intellectual property rights or any other rights of any other person.
6. Post links to any site that is pornographic, violent, racist, sexist, voyeuristic or is otherwise offensive or unlawful in any way.

9. Create multiple profiles for any purpose, e.g. to escape a previous ban or to allow comments which breach our website terms and conditions or these Posting Rules). This also includes impersonating any other person, real or imaginary.
10. Post material or link to any material that is unlawful or which support, promote or incite unlawful acts etc.
11. Reignite inflammatory threads by creating new threads on the same or similar topics after threads covering a particular topic have been closed.
12. Argue the decision of a Moderator in public. All complaints directed at a moderating decision should be addressed to Paul Garlick

15. Use a username that contains any reference to a company or website name.

These new rules are an insult to any free-thinking individual. I've highlighted the ones, I strongly disagree with. Should you not feel we can get along like this, just get me banned from this site.
