This thread has served its purpose and so I am locking it. The Magistrates enforce the Rules as they understand them. Please note that for most of us, the Rules have been around longer than we have. We interpret them based on the precedents that we have all seen as long time players. If you disagree, take it up directly with Tom. He's the one who wrote the rules.
If anyone has feedback about the Magistrate system in particular or the rules in general, please open a new thread in the Courthouse Q & A board.
