I was under the impression that a prerequisite of
having sysop status was
agreeing to follow the policies. Somebody correct me
if I'm wrong. Still,
even if it isn't, I don't think it sets a good
example to say that you are
going to ignore a policy. Perhaps it would be better
if you were to argue
for it to be made explicitly optional?
I agree with the sentiments expressed by Oliver here
-- not that I dont understand Eriks comment as tongue
in cheek ;)-- but Erik's recent "unilateral removal"
of RK from nomination was a bit too "unilateral" -- as
such a philosophy of unilateralism tends to contradict
the more general notions of voting, democracy, and so
forth.
That said, his action was only wrong in that it was
too much in good taste (as my attempt was half-baked)
and his comments were the catalyst that caused me to
be more thoughtful about the issue and make a more
serious campain for RK's sysopdom.
Jeez - was Dubya "right" to just go ahead and invade
Iraq after all?
