The peanuts may contain nuts thing comes from packs of peanuts & nuts often being manufactured in the same factory and cross contamination is possible. For the vast majority of people that slight potential for cross contamination does not matter in the slightest, for those that do it's a life threatening Big Deal.
Like a lot of 'silly' signs they are there for a reason & those that feel it is unnecessary can just ignore them. Most people don't CLog, or don't CLog in a way that significantly affects other players competing against them. But some do, and that's what the (proposed) rule is there to deal with.
Err... yeah, kinda. I shake my head at the likes of nuts-may-contain-nuts as much as the next fellow, but when such legislation comes in a package alongside cars that are less likely to crush you in the event of a crash, or Christmas lights that won't ignite the tree and burn your house down, my reaction tends towards having a giggle and moving on. I understand other countries adopt more of a caveat emptor attitude towards consumer protection, and some people may find something attractively Darwinian about that, but I rather like my cocoon of regulations. Sometimes niche examples can seem unnecessarily proscriptive but there's generally a good reason for them. Overall I'd sooner have them than not, but I guess it's easy for me to say that having lived for so long with them. Maybe if I was looking from the outside more of them would seem a bit crazy.
Still, give it 18 months and this may all be academic anyway. Bonfire of the regulations. Jagged metal Krusty-Os for all.
I am an opponent of the "Nanny State", supporter of (un)Common Sense over Common Law, favor far, far, far Less government in the lives of people instead of more. I reject the notion of a "genetic right to rule" in favor of "Qualified to Lead". I don't object to Darwinism winning out, in fact, I support it. This isn't to suggest I support anarchy though - some regulations, especially those based entirely on (un)Common Sense, along with Reasonable Standards, are simply necessary. Yes, I fully expect my Peanut butter to contain Peanuts, possibly even nuts, but certainly not Pea (read phonetically, not literally).
Back to CLogging though.. River, there's no (proposed) rule - there is an End User's License Agreement, to which we, the End Users, have Agreed to abide by. No additional layers of rules or regulations are required. The problem is not one of too few rules and regulations, but that the existing ones are enforced, and even moreso, they are not enforced instantly and observably by those who have witnessed, or believe they have witnessed an infraction.
Anything short of an instant, full-screen, server-wide message of "CMDR ThatGuy has been banned for life for Combat Logging against CMDR MahImmushon" is just not going satisfy the loudest of the squeeky wheels around here.
You created a ridiculous strawman who makes thousands of posts about a clog incident, and then pointed out it was ridiculous. Great job in raising awareness buddy. Fundamentally, you're victim-shaming, and should be ashamed
.. oops, i meant

You need to attend a university and study Language Arts and Logic. Your desperate search for this mythical grass-person is pitiable. I highly recommend studying the art and science of the Hyperbole in great detail. You can substitute this with an accounting of the total number of threads on this subject, along with a threads-per-page count. If that number is not at least 1001 I will send you a dollar. If it's greater than that, you can send me three. If you refuse, then you must recant your claim, and swear a Holy Oath to never use terminology from the internet again, or bring down a Generational Curse upon your bloodline for 100 generations.
