If you re-word #4 to read like this, I am all for it.

4.  No Personal attacks of any kind. Except for attacks on Nathan Mates
    and the rest of his self serving, arrogant, bible thumping goons. These
    attacks are encouraged, and the posting of such attacks should be rewarded
    by the delivery of illegal and illicit copies of pirated software   
    purchased from SS2 and the ever-popular (yet mostly over-rated) Joe Kohn 
    (yes, the guy who runs a business from a personal checking account).

Remember folks (in your best southern voice)

 "If you go to family reunions to pick up chicks: You might be Nathan Mates"

random several thousand times. Coincidence? I think not.. "
