PerlMonks is not a democracy. That I get; understand and even endorse. But ...

Autocracy, without wide -- if not universal -- acceptance of divine right; invites question, challenge, and even rebellion.

From whom does Tye inherit his authority?

Where are: vroom, nate, kurt, Petruchio, theonetwo, yitzchak, seveas?

Do they -- knowingly -- (continue) to cede authority to Tye  or did he inherit his "authority" purely as an accident of those above named (former?) Gods, by dint of longevity alone?

And if so, should we -- collectively, the constant, responsive, backbone of PerlMonks - continue to accept his caprice over how, and why, and what, and when, happens and is possible, and should be acceptable, here at the Monastery?

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
