Good to see you, QC!!



I hope you're here to stay.

ANd fwiw, if ginsengboy keeps turning this thread into his personal  :wanker: off thread, consider locking it for a time since he won't respect your wishes.  Thats what I would do and we are allowed to lock our ask away threads.   :plus:

(No despotism; we returned Intensity to what it was before the world council.)

Which, if it is the case (no proof as yet),
was an act of despotism in and of itself,
since the membership clearly voted to
shirk all further voting, most notably for
staff members.

Clearly? You must be reading some other board.

Who should run Intensitysquared?  (Voting closed: November 16, 2007, 09:54:36 AM)
The WC    - 9 (42.9%)
Elected admins    - 0 (0%)
The First Citizenvis the jolly despot + crew - 12 (57.1%)

Quote
Since just about everyone appears to be fucked off with this experiment in internets democracy and much needed attention appears to have been diverted from fun, games and scoring cheap but amusing points off each other by the interminable squabbling, who thinks its still worth bothering? Should we keep the WC, go back to the previous system, or leave the running of the site to the mighty webmasters?

Vote despotism. You know it makes sense. Thumbs Up

Three options, fairly clearly spelled out.
Now, the only one which made any
sense as "go back to the previous system"
was the Elected admins.

Despotism won, fair and square.

AND it requires a despotic act
to overturn such a victory.  :laugh:

Actually, I'm rather disturbed that you're
NOT following what was the stated will of
the people. It should be worth a try, to run
the site without any such input.

Calandale, are you trying to drive Carla away again?  If not, then I can't imagine what else this could possibly accomplish.  It looks like shit-stirring to me.

No. I simply will not allow the truth
to be hidden, for any reason. I like
Carla, and believe that things WILL
be run more or less as they were,
but that DOESN'T change what
happened.

Call it what you like. If revealing the
truth is shit-stirring, so be it. Whatever
to protect your little domain?
