That Chicago guy said "Legitimately responding to a thread that hasn't been locked, deleted, closed, sauteed or fried is suddenly AGAINST NORMAL FORUM RULES?!"

Yes, in this forum, it IS a rule, as a matter of fact. Just the fact that he was so vocal about being indignant, and wouldn't respect any form of authority is enough to get him banned for a day to cool off. I don't see why this caused a problem. Maybe instead of just nixing it, we could have just said "okay, no more than one point a day for the same reason". That would have fixed this, I think.
