PA once had a Simian leader, John. And FD removed him from the forum and put him in the zoo.
and now you have a forum with two (or is it three) regular posters
.... just another in
FD's long list of failures. Ya know, there is some truth in that. The original PA (after JJJ) was a benevolent autonomous dictatorship run by Dr Shrink and an other. It eventually ended up in the hands of freediver when we needed a server to keep going. I strongly supported moving to the umbrella of FD.
But, he totally misunderstood and misread and mismanaged the character of the place.
We had elections and we had a Constitution FD forced upon us. I was a strong critic of that Constitution but, it prevailed, so I resolved to work within its stupid terms.
When that turned out to upset what FD wanted, he made his fatal mistake and intervened with his buttons. He removed me as duly elected Admin.
Down hill spiral from there despite me being the ONLY Member to inject totally brand new Members (to rig an election...all legal) ~ 20 plus ~ who were so badly treated, they all eventually left. (If you want an opinion, ask a Taxi Driver.)
FD should never have intervened. He should have allowed his own Constitution to run its course which is what I was intending.
The only way that place can get ahead is by way of complete structural change. More of the same from the few current inhabitants is not going to achieve anything at all.
It cannot be 'bring back the biff' but something like that.
