All anarchists and libertarians secretly want to be corrupt dictators.
But they'll tell you it's just to prove how
wrong
allowing them that power is.
"See? Without that dictatorial no-crying rule, not only wouldn't I have stomped you, I wouldn't have made you cry in the first place!"
I wrote a kind of long post and I still feel het up and I addressed several people and I don't want to mail them all separately because I don't like to send people non-positive (not exactly *negative*, but-- oh, shut up, I know negative/positive is a binary!) backchannel emails unless I have a really, really serious problem with what they're doing.
And I don't.
Not yet.
And I didn't have the chance earlier because I wasn't home; and I want to post this now.
I don't like to send people non-positive (not exactly *negative*, but-- oh, shut up, I know negative/positive is a binary!)

The conversation started (again) when someone suggested we should post about his expulsion in Press.
I think we should have done so.
My reasoning? I feel that Avoiding Unpleasant Feelings should take second place to Clearing The Air.
I will of course accede to the community feeling that my priorities are the reverse of most Buffistas' in that regard, but I did want to say that for posterity.
John, I don't have your email addy. can you drop me a line at my profile addy?
In, as they say, sent. I'll make my email address public again, thanks for reminding me.
The first line of my Post I Still Want To Post was
It's my opinion that we should always make a short, flat-of-tone note in Sunnydale Press when someone has been banned, so that everybody, including the people who don't read Bureaucracy, will know.
so yeah, me too.
