Could LFGSS still work with a "no asshole" rule?

I am actually concerned that the asshole rule would quickly eliminate the likes of mdcc_tester who in my opinion has probably added more bike knowledge and obsessive attention to detail than anyone else.

I find his knowledge fucking scary, but would be pissed off if we lost a resource like him.

+1 [EDIT: to his knowlegde and other ppl's reaction to him - not to him being an arsehole]

As the spirit of the forum is meant to be self-moderating (which I know is slowly disapearing) could we all not just try to pull ppl up on being arseholes more often.

Maybe a simple catchphrase like "arsehole" - with a hyperlink to that wiki article?
