Why indefinite for Chris and 24 hours for Larry?

“I never meant “indefinate” to mean “permanent” - rather, “suspended
currently, for how long to be decided upon later.””
From this post.
I am not going to discuss this anymore. The Admins have made their
decision.
Thank you for your thoughtful responce.

Bush made the decision to invade Iraq. No further scrutiny needed.
Not that I’m one for ‘low blows’, but Lenny, are you listening to what you’re
saying?
Seriously, what you’re in fact saying is if we have a problem with the king,
we have zero recourse.
K, not king, but from my poli-sci class--
3 systems--
Monarchy - 1 ruler
Aristocracy - Few people rule
Democracy - ‘People rule’
But wait--there’s the ‘bad side’...
Tyranny - 1 ruler being bad to his people
Oligarchy - Few people ruling, treating the ‘common people’ badly
Oh, and Democracy - ‘Mob Rule’
Right now we’re, in my mind, looking at an oligarchy, and it’s a little
scary, in my little humble opinion.
But ‘tis your playground. I was going to throw out a Scotty quote, but I’ll
leave it there.

I really don’t think dragging contemporary politics into this discussion is
going to be very productive.
Actually, LUGNET is supposed to be an oligarchy (for a while at least) - see
Todd’s post “Taking LUGNET to the next
level” from February 2004:
I want to take LUGNET through a two-part transition, essentially
metamorphising it first from a monarchy into an oligarchy, and then from
an oligarchy into the analagous online form of a representational
democracy or a constitutional republic.
Perhaps the time has come to make the admins more accountable. I think having
elected admins would cut down on a lot of the frustration some of us are
feeling. The answer to the question “What do we do about a bad admin?” would be
“Vote him out next election!”
