> I am disappointed that you did not even offer me the respect of replying to my question. I think it would have been much healthier and sounder to allow our community to develop into something more like a participatory democracy, in which members' preferences have some (not total) importance. Your lack of response forces us to remain more like an autocracy - the dullest, most stressful and least creative kind of group.
Your preferences are important to me. I guess how creative an autocracy is depends on how creative (and autocratic) the autocrat is.
Would you like more power? Deputies have more power. We also discussed a Community Council before. Would you be interested in either of those roles?
