Despite whatever you may think about the issue being discussed (and I'm staying out of it this time around, because I can see both sides to some extent), I feel that Spike and the PTB deserve credit for their willingness to let the members have a say in this matter. For a while there, this site seemed to have become awfully oppresive and degenerated into a battle between "Us" and "Them". But very recently I've noticed a definite change in the attitude of the admin of this site, and it's most assuredly a change for the better. And nothing illustrates that change better than this episode, where the PTB have actually removed a new change to the TOS and are willing to let the members decide the issue. A couple of months ago, that just wouldn't have happened. It's definite a step in the right direction, and they deserve a little credit for it. So, since no one else has said it, I will: Thank you Spike, and all of the rest of the Powers That Be, for listening to us again, and giving us a chance to have a say in the evolution of this site. To do an abrupt about-face like that and admit that you may have been wrong took a lot of courage, and some of us DO appreciate that. We now return you to your regularly scheduled flame war, already in progress.
