Ignoring the rather obvious ass covering you're doing right now, here's something I'd like for you to implore.

Do you think the people who became those "Elitist bureaucrats" as you so delightfully referred to them as, would like the idea of having their rank and power stripped away in favor of some prick who got voted in through a mixture of IP rigging (Do I even have to REMIND you of what GhostCheese and Speddos did!?) and ass kissing? Do you think people who have put years to this site to make is as good as they possibly can, people who worked their fingers to the bone, would like the idea of having the rank they've worked so damned hard to get being torn away from them, all in favor of a system that is, so far, so full of holes and weaknesses that it's not even funny?? No. People who have earned their title, Lud and Hank especially, would NOT favor this plan, which essentially invalidates the majority of what they've done. They worked their fingers to the bone to earn their ranks, and keep their ranks, and suddenly having it taken away would do nothing but stir bad feelings about the whole system within them. Yes, some may argue it's selfish, but if you had all that power, and suddenly lost it for nearly frivolous reasons, would you be pisssd?? It's damned human nature.

I'm done here. I'm going to bed now like I should have done earlier but this response was eating me up too much.
