And THAT’S the crux of why LUGNET is at least partly broken. The admins don’t trust (some of) the users and (some of) the users (not necessarily the same ones) don’t trust the admins.

OK let me put it another way, if it’s worth creating a P&P doc, it’s worth assuring the users they will be listened to.

Yeah, I don’t believe this. The LPRV is a great example. The Admins gathered a group of people and said, we trust you guys! We want to know what you think! And then, seemingly out of nowhere, they started accusing the Admins of creating a rubber stamp committee.

If you don’t trust me, then no matter HOW many times I say “I want to listen” - you will always think I’m lying to you.. or being sarcastic or whatever. I’ve seen it happen quite a few times. This is an excellent example - Scott accuses me of being insincere when I was trying to reassure. What then?

Well, as long as it was Scott, it was easy enough to disregard. It was just Scott, after all, noted button pusher.

But when we get this mistrust from people we used to respect before they wigged out, or people we still do want to respect for their contributions, despite their personal attacks, that’s more serious, isn’t it?

Is saying someone wigged out a personal attack? Is it beaving to a different standard? DOesn’t sound like you are unpholdin’ to you own rules. You commiteed to do better.

Sounds like the double standard again. I was called to town for asking users to respect Admins, and everyone said there is no way to police whether people respect us or not. And now you’re trying to call Larry out because he doesn’t respect some people?

Larry endeavors to TREAT everyone with respect, but whether he really respects them or not is his business. Isn’t that so? Or are you arguing that Admins have expectations that go above and beyond what is expected of a user?

I think that saying some members (unnamed) have ‘wigged out’ is just as fair as some members calling Larry an ‘ass.’ What’s good for the goose...

Could you guys please start a new thread with all this feces? It seems this thread has fallen victim to name-calling and the other normal antics... Back on topic. Evey decently large community has a members' association. I bet a few of you who live (...) (20 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.admin.suggestions)
