You have even taken to suggesting that people who don't like Mudcat the way it is should go start their own site with rules to suit them.

The division exists and is not entirely of my making.

But is it not divisive for those who don't like the way it is and express their failure to stay but feel their have some right to impose their required changes upon everyone else? So many good things have been lost and this latest proposal is just the final insult to us all.

Shambles, please correct me if I am wrong- I do not claim to speak for anyone besides myself.

Yes the point is that any caretaker has to recognise and honour the host's invitation and to treat the invited guests equally. It will only cause division and trouble if the guest's suitability to post is judged publicly by the caretaker and fellow guests are then encouraged to support these judgements and to feel they should also express judgements of their fellow guests.
