I know biggedon didn't vote for Obama, because he's against all change
Don is a nice guy but every time someone makes an observation regarding adjusting, improving or expanding the rules to suit e.g. new market conditions or trends, biggedon's off the cuff response is "no". Don, it's not 2002 anymore and DNForum is probably 25 times as big, so change is necessary with a lot of things. To achieve "high standards" as you profess, you personally need to refrain from running the show like Fidel Castro did. Rules are necessary but common sense is needed even more when you have the privilege of being a moderator, especially when you're setting forth a claim of bias by identifying a number of active and potentially outspoken or energized users as a "group of complainers, whiners, and wannabe intimidators."
