I recognize the brevity in your post, but can't resist commenting that your reasoning could, if applied, reason away the FPP. ;-)
Obviously Alan or "ABK" does exhibit the attributes you represented, and the FPP challenges Farkel to sugarcoat those thoughts so they are expressed with synonyms that don't violate the FPP (like trying to express one's belief that someone else is "stupid" without personally attacking the person by calling them stupid -- and ideally offering them the hope that putting away bad attitudes can cure a case of (synonym for "stupidity") faster than a bowl of ice cream).
But I hear your frustrations, as it seems this is like a theocratic daycare center. No sooner than moderators relax with the satisfaction of quieting Fred, suddenly their nostrils get a quaft of another wet diaper coming from ABK's general direction. ;-)
I appreciate the willingness of you and other moderators to change diapers and smack the immodestly bare behinds of screaming toddlers when it wasn't in the volunteer job description.
