Hi, Tom.
I appreciate your point of view and, agree that it’s a silly rule. In the corporate world, consulting lawyers about something almost invariably means their recommendation will be followed slavishly regardless of its connection to reality. This issue has been discussed to death here. The fundamental redux is that it’s Glowgorge’s Discourse instance and, their rules. They have made it clear that, if we don’t self-police and keep the settings in the BTM section, they will just systematically remove all posts with settings. Honestly, that likely wouldn’t particularly bother most regular users, since we typically work out our own settings.
I have tried to word this in a friendly, non-confrontational way so we can just deal with it and move on.
It makes me sad if that’s what’s discouraging you from participating here more. You have been around a long time and, I do remember you being more active in the past.
