Should we go by the rules or should we bend with the wind, and every time a "large section of the community" thinks a crime has occurred, bring the case to trial, as you have advocated?  Do we have mob rule or do we have the rule of law in this country?

If someone appeals to the moderator, the moderator should respond.  "No, he hasn't broken any rules," or "yes I see what you mean, he is warned/banned."
