@LBB:

I'm not sure what you mean by locked into the statement. I said I agree to follow the rules, which was a little pointless to begin with. All you can have over the internet is someone's word of honor. There is no such thing as a binding contract on a wiki like this, because there are no legal authorities to enforce it.

Also, your statement isn't really true. This won't tell or show whether or not we will follow the rules—only time and our actions will show that. All of us are mature, rule-abiding users, and none of us plan to violate the policy. It's strange to pretend that us appending tildes to a blog comment is going to have any effect on that. These statements can't ensure anything, although you can trust us to follow the rules like we always have.
