As usual you have chosen to ignore the point.

The "rules" are unenforceable.

They are therefore, irrelevant.

Eh? So anything is OK as long as you're sure you won't get punished for it?
How do you handle yourself in normal society? Do you break evert unwritten
law and tresspass on taboos becosue it's not a law against it?

on what seems true, valid or probable to one's own mind; what one thinks;
judgment. (Webster's)

My opinion.
There was nothing selective or incomplete about the quote,
only your ability to comprehend it.

Your opinion.
Opinion: No one is trying to "force" 'their opinion' on anyone.
Opinion: People are merely pointing out that top posters are not following
Netiquette guidelines,
Opinion: as determined by knowledgeable folks
Opinion: who put in the time and effort to think about these things
Opinion: based on a rational analysis of what works best,
Opinion: as opposed to the typical knee jerk 'screw you' reaction
Opinion: of the anti-social.

I understand it just fine, as partial as it is, as well as the entire guideline

Prove it with facts, not opinion and supposition.

zero energy into understanding.
