You really expect me, your average idiot, to read a legal document to learn the rules and abide by them?

It’s not hard to read and it’s pretty clear. IMHO it’s better than most ELUA text I’ve seen.

Besides with the scale at which this site is growing it would be STUPID of them NOT to put up something like this. At the bare minimum it’s protecting their asses from liability if/when someone decides to sue them. They can’t point to that text and say this is what/why we took the actions we did.

I trust in the Golden Rule, and my behavior within carries me to victory!

I trust that the Golden Rule will be "enough the same" - compared to the given rules here - so that I will not break any rules!

Yes! Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the more often and steadily we reflect upon them: the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me.
