Nothing wrong with discussing the management of the forums one participates in. Which begs the question, why do so many forum participants feel threatened by this subject?

Every forum/message board has an elite group of alpha posters. How much they are allowed to dominate is a question of how the board/forum is managed, and how much rope that elite group is given by management to hang those who dissent from their party line. Doesn't matter whether the forum is about music or cars or toothpaste.
