What you have said has absolutely nothing to do with what I said. You just made a rash generalization for "we can do whatever we want whenever we want because we can."

No one said it was a democracy. Did we vote on the rules? No. Did we vote on the new infraction rules? No. Do we vote on anything new that happens on these forums? No. Only recently has Unix actually reached out to us and asked us for our opinion (in the thread about lifetime classic).

However, no one said they have a problem with this lack of a democracy. If we had a democracy, things would be unruly. The majority of forum users understand this.

The problem we have is with you making up new rules because you think they apply. If they are rules, then enforce them as rules. But when you start doing random closings and post deletions. I say once again, no one has a problem with the lack of democracy. In fact, I would say it is understood on a professional basis.
