I have never, ever argued that there are no boundaries. I have repeatedly 
made it clear to Nikos when I thought he was behaving improperly. And 
I've done the same to others when they've acted improperly.

Yes. Trying to start flame wars with Nikos is unacceptable behaviour. It 
is unproductive, it makes this a hostile, unpleasant place to be, it 
ruins the environment for the rest of the community, it's off topic, and 
it simply doesn't work to discourage trolls.
