in thread Who gave (and continues to give) Tye his authority for his autocratic domination of PerlMonks?

And if people believe a god temporarily banned your account you have significantly weakened your position, because who will risk an even lengthier ban by joining your crusade?

Really. I think whomever saw fit to -- silently, unilaterally, and with neither warning nor announcement -- ban my account, made my point for me better than I ever could have hoped for.

Will anything come of it? That's not up to me, I did my part. It would require collective action to change things, and there seems to be apathy for that.

So I'll accept the conclusion of democratic apathy, shut-the-f***-up, and live with the status quo.

      No. It's not.

        Yes. It is. And you know it; and you have no proof.
