From what I can tell, **tomndebb** has been consistent on this point and I think I have, too. And you were posting in ATMB. While we don’t allow insults in ATMB, we have to give posters a little bit of latitude in asking questions about the rules. (For example you can’t call another poster a troll or a jerk in any forum except the Pit, but in ATMB you can link to a post or a thread and ask if a certain poster was trolling or being a jerk in that thread.) --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tubadiva-you-may-have-missed-this/595421)._
