Right, this is mostly to protect people, especially younger members. Generally, posting too much public info (name, age, address, phone number, etc.) is a very bad idea on a super public website. Once it is posted, it is almost impossible to remove it from the internet, search engines, etc. In the case of a chickenstock, posting the address to the event is up to the poster, but if it is your home, I'd suggest you send that to the participants via PM.

I totally get what you are saying, but being able to control yourself is what separates us from the other animals.
Replying "in kind" is never appropriate and will always get the poster in trouble.
Important: Keep in mind that while the default point count for trolling, flaming, etc. might be 35 points, if our staff feel somoene is violating the rule in a way that goes above and beyond the standard point count, the staff may give a "custom warning" with way more points (which could be enough for a 2 week + ban).
So, long story short: Keep the fighting, trolling, flaming, etc. off the public forum.
I saw, on some thread and I can't remember where, a beautiful response to some one being jibbed and jabbed. It related to chicken behaviors and if it happened or never happened. After another volley towards the "good responder" from the offender, His/Her response was a simple "I'm happy for you". I thought it was so classy and all but the offender knew the offensive offender had been put in their place since the offender still came back at her. Duh!
