For this trivia thread to not descend into constant argument, it does need groundrules. Regardless of who came up with those rules, their intention is to allow the trivia thread to run well.
If you don't agree with the rules set out buy the user who has initiated this trivia thread, that's your decision. However there are others who want to participate in this trivia thread, and are willing to accept these rules. Even if you don't like the rules, please respect those who do
If you feel the rules need to be tweaked, then by all means that can be discussed - put forward suggestions rather than just bagging the fact that someone has set up rules.
