I?m pushing the issue because it doesn?t make sense to me. It?s not even like I?m disputing an existing rule. It is clearly labeled a recommendation. If it?s anything other than that, the guidelines should explicitly state such. I don?t like being shot at from all angles because the guidelines are woefully inadequate. This is a clear case of practice over policy, and that?s not a very effective way of implementing your ideals.
I can?t say the rule, or the reasons for said rule, is improper. I have a problem with the way it?s presented and enforced. At least you conversed with me on the matter, and didn?t resort to deleting my threads and ignoring my concerns. For this you are to be commended.
