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!”

the system that Lugnet needs to try to transition to, without it becoming
too much of a popularity contest.
