You do, though. You've got multiple posts saying I shouldn't remove what the shills post. So you're advocating this forum be hijacked, as well as openly breaking rules and then being upset at me for enforcing the rules instead of apologizing so you can stay with the community.

More demonizing spin. STOP LYING. Is all this bullshit to cover up your own inadequate management?

Let me be 100% clear:

• I DO want transparency, openness, fairness, accountability, and consistency.
• I DO want banning the problematic shills, trolls, and bots.
• I do NOT want censorship at all.
• I do NOT want SaidIt hijacked.

If you'd get your head out of my ass you'd see this what I've been saying, and nothing more, no matter how you try to spin it.

You should want these too, but all you want is to pathetically attempt to vilify me to ban me instead of discussing solutions. You are transparent when you refuse to be transparent.

Temporarily and intentionally breaking your lame arbitrary rules intentionally targeted at me seems to be the only way to even get your attention. You only expose yourself and apparently your ego driven need for absolute control with your poor leadership and lack of solutions. You are dragging things down by hunting me rather than responding to the legitimate issues.

Instead of this timesuck drama we should be fixing things. If you were a good leader you'd recognize that. It's never too late to come around.

If you want we can have a dramatic showdown in a dedicated post instead of all this side-comments crap. Obviously that's not really good for you, me, or SaidIt.

We could draft up something for /s/SaidItSurveys and ask the community at large to resolve our impasse. Again, not ideal, but at least it would be a step forward.

Or we could be gentlemen and rationally discuss the REAL issues here. But I suspect you won't dare. Either you're a coward who's afraid to admit when he's been wrong this whole time, you don't have the ability to bring the changes necessary and have been hiding behind secrecy all along, or again, maybe your ego won't let you concede any of whatever you think your power is by delegating responsibilities despite maintaining ultimate veto. Maybe all of them, or maybe I'm overlooking another reason or few. But you can't even fucking discuss options.

You will never earn my respect by falsely accusing me of shit and refusing to have a civil discussion about the REAL ISSUES: being fair, open, accountable, and consistent - and dealing with the real trolls. Man up.
