I understand this sounds like I am puffing up or "acting tough" but anyone who knows me as an Admin knows losing people, lots of people, is something I am comfortable with and decided long ago was worth me having the kind of site I like for myself. In other words, threats to leave have no effect on me. Get the fuck out right now if you think I am bluffing or am even slightly considering changing my position because some nasty little puppet on crack is trying to make me concerned about the cost of turning them off. Puppets worry about turning me off, not the other way around.
I truly don't give a fuck if I have to start all over. If I, and the people on the same basic page as me, are happier or enjoying themselves more, it is worth it. Hopefully, my attitude has dividends and translates into a site that I and others find enjoyable and stick with. So far, my track record is fairly good, I think.
You are apparently used to dealing with Admins that care a lot more than I do about losing people over boundaries that they set up. You lose people no matter what over time. The trick is, are you happy during it? I decided long ago to always make that answer be "YES."
In short, I am immune to puppetitis from manipulative bitch-puppets.

It's charming when a puppet thinks and predicts. This is a good opportunity to review Puppet Rule #2.
Puppet Rule #2:
Puppets don't get to use threats and notifications about who will leave or stay on the site if they don't get their way.
MF runs all his forums like a Stalinist communist state, everyone is equally worthless to him, whether you have made a 5000 brilliant posts, or 50 two word posts is completely irrelevant you will be treated the same. It makes no difference if you are a personal friend or a complete stranger, just like a communist state where the brain surgeon is paid the same as the street sweeper, no contributor is truly valued.
MF does have a penchant for right wing lunatics though, there is a whole cabal of ultra right wing Christian fundamentallists and thiny veiled racists posting at 24 like a Nazi glee club.
Case in point, I recently had problems with Millennium and I am glad Brian solved the problem because he did it fairly instead of MF's arbitary stalinist policy of zero tolerance. Brian recognised that Millennium was clearly goading and antagonising me and warned him for it while letting me know he recognised what Millennium was doing in a nice PM. MF would have treated the situation completely differently, we would both have been warned (I probably would have been banned again) because MF detests complexity of any kind.
As you can see he thinks we are all here for his amusement and he will change things just for the sake of it, thats because MF is a poor admin, period. He has zero neutrality and has no understanding of fairness when disputes arise, Brian is a far better admin and I think deep down MF knows this.
