Honestly, guideline #7 is in place to protect all members - those who might take offense to any gossiping/speculating about the DS personnel's private lives - and those who might take exception to someone being offended by it. And by everyone refraining from anything resembling such gossiping/speculating, everyone is protected. And none of the guidelines are meant to stifle discussion. But because of what can and does happen in unmoderated venues across the Internet, our guidelines were carefully developed, incorporating situations the admins have witnessed firsthand elsewhere on the Internet, situations addressed by the guidelines of other moderated forums and e-mail lists, and the TOS statements of sites like Yahoo and the old AOL and Prodigy services, all in an effort to prevent such situations - situations that can and do often get out of hand easily in unmoderated situations...
