And >it is not spelled 'democracy'... > Hello Bob, I wrote my election platform after reading the CCC Charter. The existing rules. I didn't make them up, didn't even interpret. I suppose you have forgotten the part of the Charter where it says: "You are further agreeing to abide by the decision of the moderators should a post of yours be deleted and/or if you should lose your membership privileges after due consideration of the moderators. You also will be agreeing that the decision of the moderators is final." Hello? Did you read that part? Accuse me of making up rules, and being a dictator, do you? ;-) Cmon, Bob, it's pretty clear. How can anyone come up with a different interpretation after reading that? If you want to change the Charter, fine, but don't accuse me of making it up out of thin air. Will
