[quote=@Hank]He's a [i]hobbyist website admin,[/i] not the despot of a banana republic. He doesn't "lead" anybody. He gives you a space to fulfill your roleplaying needs, and we (the rest of the staff) help him take care of spambots, misplaced posts and trolls. That's it. That's all this place is. And frankly, your assumptions about his motives for creating, hosting and maintaining the site are disingenuous, and comparing a -- let me remind you again -- [i]hobbyist forum[/i] to a democratic nation is at least melodramatic, if not outright ridiculous. 

And by the way, websites are [i]never[/i] democratic. The internet is an exercise in benevolent dictatorship to begin with.

If you thought my earlier post was vitriolic I implore you to reconsider your knowledge of the meaning of that word, but fear not -- I'll educate you on its meaning right now. Many of the points raised in this thread are valid. Yours are not. I don't appreciate your sensationalism and I'd prefer if you just keep out of the conversation entirely if you can't manage a reasonable level of discourse. Several people have complained in this very thread that users are blowing the issues out of proportion and your post is a textbook example of that very same thing. [i]Overthrow[/i] Mahz? What the fuck are you talking about? Do you have the slightest idea how the internet works? And are you seriously implying that he go read a book written about [i]war[/i] to learn how to [i]administrate a hobbyist internet forum?[/i]

You need to get some perspective.[/quote]

I don't really buy this excuse, seeing as how people have raised many of RWBY's valid points already, [i]without[/i] the same melodramatic rhetoric, and you've been perfectly content to ignore them too.

For example:

[quote=@RWBY Spectre]The majority staff isn't just eneough transparent, mature, and open enough to criticism to come here and discuss this with the community. Of the ones that posted here until now, [@Ruby] and [@NuttsnBolts], seen like they just came to try to save face and looking like they are open to discussion, when they trully aren't. In fact, Nutt's first post on this discussion was an open attempt to shut down all dialogue and shift the blame on the community and, especially [@Cyndyr], this thread's OP.[/quote]

[@Nytem4re] already raised this issue [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4413728]here[/url]. Where's [i]his[/i] explanation, if the tone of one's writing is really the basis by which we judge his posts' worth? Seeing as how Nyt didn't allude to any totalitarian imagery, no one should have had any problems giving him a proper response in the 24 hours since he uploaded this post. Right?
