It's illogical. Thats a rule enforced by a matter of opinion. "Scummy" is an adjective, it can't be applied in a reasonable rule– it's just weather or not you like someone.

Deciding who the rules apply to based on weather or not you like their off site business practices isn't *fair* by any stretch of the imagination. "Treating them how they treat others" isn't fair either, that's inconsistent. And we'd only be able to learn through hearsay. Besides, remember: I could say it's my opinion that Onix is scummy for defending piracy as a practice and then ban him. I could say "I'm treating you how you treat my favorite artists"

I'm not gonna do that, and I'm not flaunting my power in order to intimidate you guys. I'm just making a point. As a philosophy, picking and choosing who the rules apply to based on behavior and usefulness to the community is to subjective to yield the expected results.
