Re^3: Can a Pontiff become an initiate in one night?

I hope you'll stay with the monastery and still find it a place to share knowledge.

Oh, no need to worry about that. I've taken the route (twice, unfortunately) of saying I was leaving and then found it so very difficult to not come back. There is a lot to be learned here, regardless of those elements which any particular person could find unpleasant. As for my method of doing what I did, I agree I could probably have turned to the gods and outright asked for it to be done. Would have had the same functional outcome, but may have sidestepped such heavy discussion over it (and saved the site a good number of http hits).

Hmmm?

Kinda like crack eh?

As for the local moderation system, it's needed. It may be poorly implemented, but an "online community" cannot survive without one. I'm sure it's a nice thought that it would work fine if people just stopped paying attention to it, but that's incredibly naive. As any site grows you require a filter to improve the signal to noise ratio.

I think respecting people's privacy when they choose to change user names or use multiple accounts is important. But then, I would think that...

You tell 'em, bro.
