> guideline violations

What a language! How could "guidelines" ever be "violated"? Rules? Injunctions? Yes. Guidelines? No.

Rules is too harsh certainly, so let's use guidelines instead. But since the underlying meaning does not change, words lose connection to reality.

We think we are creating a softer and kinder world, but the opposite is true. If a guideline is actually an order, what's an order?
