firstly let me say that l like this site and thoroughly enjoy the comments and general input that everyone contributes whether that be in general chat whatever the topic as well as the dedicated astronomy topics.
l also think Mike and the moderators on the whole do a pretty good job.
however, the terms (privately owned site) and (this is not a democracy) as quoted by those in charge, to me seems odd, sure Mike started the site and then the forum but he also invited anyone that wanted to, to become a part of it and l am sure was very happy as it started to grow into what it is today.
at a certain point and maybe this is it you cannot make arbitrary rules that will suit everyone because you have too many differing views and personalities and maybe some discussion or majority rules points have to be adopted.
no group this big whether it be private, political or otherwise can survive without change and l am sure that in the beginning Mike never thought it would get this big and therefore never planned specifically for this type of outbreak (l may be wrong).
Mike maybe the leader of this site but the members are the site and somewhere l am sure there is a compromise with those that take issue with the way it is run.
