I agree that we need to have a public discussion about the founder. I agree that it is appropriate for the founder to act if the region is faced with the threat of an imminent coup, but as things stand there are now clear bylaws about when it is appropriate to use such a power or to change the password, which is just asking for a blowup like this happening again. We should amend the bylaws to more clearly define the founders' responsibilities and powers.

I have acted rashly more times than I would care to admit. Like anyone with an emotional attachment to a place, I had trouble leaving despite bad experiences that I wanted to leave behind me. I would like very much to return tp Taijitu but I'm afraid there will be no community to return to if there are no rules to be followed, or if our personal differences consume us.

It was not easy locking the founder down, and I have admittedly been dwelling on it. I think anyone would agree that there must be a civil conversation where we can speak frankly but respectfully to each other if this region is to survive. But we need real progress before I can feel sure enough of the rule of law in Taijitu to turn over the password.

I have not banned anyone, nor have I removed the delegate's powers. We left The Lexicon because too few people held too much power.  Today there are similar concerns and I dearly want to address them. I don't think anyone has plans to bend this region to their will for kicks, but emotions are high.

EDIT: I am on my phone but I will be around in a few hours.
Thank you Myro. Well said.

Well, I'll go on record as saying it wasn't me on any of the counts. Say what you will about me, most of it will be true. But one thing I don't do is fuck with the founder. When I'm staging a coup, everyone knows it because I don't hide it.
