Shambles:

Here's my opinion on editing/closing, etc. I think that whoever has the idea to run a site should run it the way they see fit. I may or may not agree with it. If I had a vision of the way things should be, I'd go and start my own forum. If I disagree, I'd go to a site that expresses my views more plainly. Mudcat is not a democracy. As long as we're extending political metaphors, I suppose you could call it a benign dictatorship. I have no problem with that whatsoever.

If the management of the forum was done by a co-op or a paid membership of users, maybe I'd feel different. But that's not the 'cat.
