Roger you are asking people to join you in advocating anarchy, you are also inviting foul mouthed trollery and flaming of unknown proportions.
We all know you have a bee in your bonnet about your precious threads being edited by a person or persons unknown, and I feel that you have a hidden agenda with regard to this crusade.
While it is a good idea to suggest to the owner of any given site that you think there is a better way to run all or part of that site, it is a totally different matter to try bypassing that person by appealing to others over his head to join you in forcing his hand.
There is an established system for sorting out problems on Mudcat, and the first step is to go to Joe, and the next step if not happy is to go to Max. If you do not receive an answer that suits you by this process then you have exhausted it. It is wrong thereafter to try to force their hand by force majeur in the thin disguise of democracy.
In the first place what gave you the impression that this is a democratic site, Max was not elected ergo it is not a democracy it is a private entity. Nor was he imposed on you, it was you that joined his site, and not him that conscripted you.
So whatever truths or untruths, sensible or stupid contributions, or good ideas you have regarding the running of this site, you are totally out of order in the way you are going about it.
I think you are a frustrated revolutionary, a sort of Don Quixote tilting at the windmill that is Max, and achieving exactly the same amount of success as the original character.
There is the old saw that goes, "Why are you banging your head against that brick wall?" answer "Because it feels good when I stop"
Time to leave the brickwork in peace Roger, and I mean that most sincerely.
Giok
