Okay, I learned something. Inconsistency may be unavoidable since moderators cannot evaluate every post. But I'm not sure but what this underscores my point. It sounds like your only hope for consistency is to adopt a general 'hands off' policy except in certain areas (like copyright and trademark infringements).

Yes, I also know that litigation is punishing, even when it is frivolous. I see clearly that there is a quantum difference between someone whose goals include protecting the financial interests of a commercial enterprise. What I would respectfully say here is that there are principles of right and wrong, and then there are erosions of those principles for reasons such as economics. However small the decisions and erosions may be, business people very frequently have to balance those two competing interests (right and wrong versus lucrative and expensive). I'm not criticising Wayne at all. I very much appreciate this site, and I respect Wayne. But there is a reason I am not more comfortable, financially than I am. And I believe the reason is not that I am mentally handicapped, or lazy. When I am considering an issue, I very often don't see the financial implications very well because they are small things standing behind the 'right and wrong' question.

Yes, I am one of those people who win the selected battles but don't achieve overal victory. Another way to state this is that for me, the ends do not justify the means. I am satisfied to win the battles I choose to fight, or even to fight the battles I choose to fight, regardless of whether I win. Failure to me, is fighting the wrong battles. I do that sometimes too, and regret it.

I'd have told Porsche to come and get me, over the issue of whether I can operate the Poorsh domain name. The theory is that courts will allow corporations to bully cybersquatters using this thin 'trademark infringement' excuse. Freddom of expression hangs in the balance. I say let's go ahead and test that theory.

No, I'm probably never going to be rich (though I cannot rule that out either), but I sleep like a baby and the guy in the mirror is a friend.
