| | It should also be noted that, as the FAQ points out, "That said, this place couldn't happen without a wide range of talents and efforts from a wide range of people, and this place will only do well if there are people who feel that they are getting something out of it and able to contribute something to it, and so in reality, for most things, a mix of group consensus, individual action, and compromise drives the day to day governance of the thing, and thus, the reality what happens is generally an organic collective democracy tempered and augmented at times by frank dictatorship as a last resort.", and I have no problems resorting to that frank dictatorship as a last resort, and, as I don't believe that the benefit-to-harm ratio favors Sawfoot's posts, on balance, however possibly well-meant he says they are, and, as previous requests have not gotten the message across, I am again requesting that Sawfoot find another outlet for what he feels are his talents, interests and perspectives, as, if they are truly of the value he says they are, perhaps some other community will agree and embrace his level of meticulous engagement and meta-cognitive abilities with open arms.
Should that be in any way ambiguous, feel unfair, or cause you other objections, Sawfoot, please simply leave anyway, recognizing that the web is a vast place and, I believe, capable of providing a much closer fit to your ways of interacting and viewing the world, thus increasing happiness all around.
