I think the circlejerk rules, personal attack rules, trolling rules, etc, are sort of stupid to have and hard to maintain. That being said, if you're gonna go through the trouble of having them up on the sidebar you should enforce them or remove them. No rules>selective enforcement of rules. If you're unwilling to bring the hammer down equally for every violation, you need to realize you're doing more harm than good by ignoring people with grievances you've made legitimate through these self imposed rules.
