Another possible explanation is that IB doesn't care to communicate with someone who shows tremendous disrespect to the established host of this website.

What we have established is that IB apparently doesn't like communicating with anyone. Oh, except the small group of moderators the day a change is coming. 
So I say open that group up! Let's let IB communicate with us all about potential changes and feedback.
Why are you against open communication channels, Spiff?

Actually let the record show that Spiff is very much proactive for open channels of communication. That is supported factually by him being recognized by several TalkBoards, electing him Vice-President as the liaison to the community in posting up communication from the Talkboard to the members. He was elected because the members of the various TalkBoards did actually recognize Spiff believed and supported that particular open communication channel.

I am glad that you have at last taken your mask off and recognised, implicitly, that your 'proposal' was not a through-through, constructive proposal but just a device to air your dissatisfaction with IB. So I can only go back to my first post, here: you are asking for an 'Obama only' type-forum so that some posters can rant and rave about IB. Perhaps it would have been more honest to say so right from the start?
IB has made some terrible decisions recently and we should be able to discuss them openly. ^

Yes, really.
I think that your posts to Randy are frequently disrespectful. I also think that the manner in which you choose to attempt to engage Randy is confrontational at times and very dismissive at other times. I suspect that I am not the only person with this opinion.

So because your classmate does not want to play with you, you think that stamping your feet on the ground and shouting "mummy, mummy, he does not want to play with me" will get him to play with you?

What is this supposed to mean? I find your response incoherent. Can you rephrase, please?

Not really. You've chosen to publicly wonder why IB doesn't choose to communicate with you. You also asked for clarification of what I meant by 'disrespectful'. I'm merely providing a possible explanation in addition to the specious explanations you've offered.

Your point about me disrespecting Randy is simply off-topic to this discussion. I appreciate your concern though.
Edited to add: I took Randy off ignore, so Randy, if you feel disrespected by my questions here, please send me a PM so we can sort it out. Thanks!

I don't publicly wonder why IB doesn't communicate with me. I know why they don't: they have no interest in doing so. That's why I want to open up a channel to them. I want them to know that the FT population wants to communicate with them. It's not just me. Read that thread in technical.
