It’s like in hockey…

That is exactly how it works. I would say it’s actually a tactic of people like Holmes, “draw the penalty” so to speak. In forums, I can see the necessity, because otherwise Doug would have to evaluate the quality of everyone’s arguments. Despite the obvious, there are places and people who would accept what Holmes says, there are people who get paid to say what he repeats. It’s completely illogical and untrue, but Holmes’ argument that there are “masses of data” that support him, actually is a valid reason to not flag him on the forum rules. To keep the hockey analogy, it would be like a penalty for not having all their forwards correctly positioned.
