Thanks very much for the comments, guys! There's just one thing I want to clarify:

[quote:bc1de4464f="fairyliquid"][quote:bc1de4464f="Buzzfloyd"]If you are a newbie giving an opinion on an argument, you do so at your own risk. [/quote:bc1de4464f]

This sounds a bit harsh…It’s a good tip but may put people off posting valid opinions.
How about
“If you are a newbie giving an opinion on an argument, be cautious.
You may not fully understand the argument and cause more trouble”

I agree that it sounds harsh, but it's written for the context of this list. For the proper FAQ, I would write it out in a nicer way, but this is just to concisely summarise the rules we're considering to let people know what they are. There are several on that list that I would wish to phrase differently for the FAQ proper.

The Garner who cares.
