The workings of a ship seem relevant to our administration-community relationship.

I was visiting an aircraft carrier recently, and I saw this written on a plaque on a wall in the ship.

"A Chief is always right. He may be misinformed, inexact, bullheaded, fickle, ignorant, even abnormally stupid but never wrong."

I thought it rather relevant to how a few of us seem to be perceiving the mods/admins lately (I don't).

The fact of the matter is that the forms are owned and run by Squad and the mods, not us, and they have every right to rule their own towns and homes. Some of us may see that which is going on as unjust or whatever other negative adjective we can imagine, but we have to keep that to ourselves since the forum isn't a democracy in which we are allowed have a say in what laws are good or bad, just or unjust, worthwhile or silly.

If you want to say stuff or do stuff your own way, you have to get out from under Squad's roof (posting in forums) and stop driving on Squad's streets (forums) and go elsewhere.

I don't really want any community members to respond to this unless they feel that they have to. I just want you all to get a better perspective concerning what you may be thinking or even saying.

I think it's best that people read this, but not add to the discussion, as it might lead to arguments, I'll lock this to preserve it as it is, clean and clear.
