If this is ok--I would like to use this aspect of our forum to get on the
same page as other members. Frankly I am bewildered by how easily
 these rules are either forgotten or ignored. Or maybe it's just me.
 Bring a fellow member.
I am thinking Rule #3 and Rule# 5
Thanks Zuma
PS It seems the author Jamie is a guest? Kind or weird?

These rules are posted at the beginning of every forum.  They are generic.  We could be very specific here, for flintknapping, but it's probably not necessary.

What is "Bring a fellow member"?  Bring a fellow member up to speed?  Forgive me, it's probably a typo but I just want to be clear.

I suppose we could write a section with "punishments" for infractions of the rules but we look at all infractions on a case-by-case basis and we assume someone is having a bad day or missed their meds when something is amiss.  But we've banned people before for rules violations.  That seems to be where things go when things get out of hand.

If we need to have a debate here, about the rules, then be my guest and feel free to vent.  I'll be lurking...
