You know that of the Talkboard members who have ever been suspended, the majority have been from/by Randy (or, in the case of Talkboard members with multiple suspensions, the "big one" has been by Randy)?
(That's public knowledge if you search the TB-07 forum, this forum, and community, BTW. I'm not revealing anything in confidence by saying as such--you can read it with a simple search).
So in a practical sense, historically this would not have mattered, as it's usually Randy's doing anyway.
In a principled sense, however, I'd ask you why you believe Talkboard members above the same rules that every member of FT is asked to comply with? Members are members first, and
everything else second. If it's good enough for the mods, certainly it should be good enough for the Talkboard, right?
