Netiquette is not law.
Law is not opinion.
Netiquette is opinion.
opinion: a belief not based on absolute certainty or positive knowledge but
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.
