Why, if someone came into your echo and flamed you, you wouldnt
reciprocate, you would give them a vacation, ban them or whatever?

It is you whom has gone into other echoes and complained about how they
were ran, or are run..

No he said that if a user is a moderator of an echo, that the person would
have to comport themselves the same way they expect others to do so in
their echo.

For instance, I have a rule in my echo that requires people to use someones
name as presented in the message headers, therefore I cannot come into here
and call Ross Sauer or refer to him by his full real name, this would only
apply to me.

I do not see how your echo gets adversely affected by anything Earl would
or could do.

Your echo particpants would remain unaffected by Earls rule.
