"Voice of reason" or just a voice agreeing with you? ( I don't usually
associate rhetoric like "run rampant" (and "slime trail", not that Eric said
that) as the voice of reason, but hey, that's just me.)
Call the question.
I think the points have been made. The majority of users who have spoken up
have said they don't like the idea, but your mind appears to be made up.
Further discussion isn't likely to elicit new understanding.
Make a post saying "that's it, enough discussion, I'm not changing my mind
on this, or at least not in the next few days or weeks, and this is the way
it's gonna be"... sign it in your official capacity as LUGNET administrator
(or perhaps, post it with a different email address??? one that you've
badged as being your admin persona) so we know you're not just talking as
another user of LUGNET, and let's move on.
Time will tell whether this was a Terminally Dumb Idea(tm) that quashes TLC
involvement just as it was starting to bear fruit, or the thing that
restores the Sanctity and Purity of the Fan Experience(tm) from the big bad
marketeers, or (most probably) something in between but shaded one way or
the other.
Oh, ya... time and market forces, that is.
