We try not to be stupid :-)
Fairness doesn't mean that everyone gets treated
the same. It means
that everyone has to follow the same rules -- and that people who choose
to break the rules *don't* get treated the same as people who don't.
You mean where the person complained of gets a substantial block for
personal attacks, and the complainant is cautioned not to let themselves
be provoked into responding in kind, with no actual penalty?
