They pretty much all define asshole behavior. Posting a bunch of off-topic stuff in someone's thread? That's asshole behavior. Insults? Asshole behavior.
Why would being an asshole be a good thing?
Rather, why would the rest of us think it's a good thing to keep assholes around?
Everyone has bad days. That's not the point. The current warning system seems to be well thought out to allow for that. Everyone acts like an asshole from time to time. The warning system allows for that. Acting like an asshole because you've had a crappy day doesn't make you an asshole - especially if you recognize that you acted like an asshole and apologize for it. Assholes are assholes because they consistently act like assholes.
Why would it benefit this forum to keep assholes around?
Because Asshole is a statement that is different for everyone.
