Umm, stopping at a red light while driving is not only a convention, it's
the law. If I don't stop and I get caught, I will get a ticket or possibly
cause an accident.
There is no law about top-posting. If someone top-posts, they get some
self-appointed net-cop like you trying screaming at them.
Using a carrot rather than a stick will often get better results quicker.
