Ping for Day 55.

Perhaps Skinner is doing the right thing with allowing other fund-raisers at DU. Yet no one could blame him if he instituted a new policy that allowed no fund-raisers at all.

But Skinner is a weak and ineffective manager of his web forum. He posts "rules" that are seldom followed by the members and selectively enforced by the moderators. One of those "rules" is no personal fund-raising and he definitely broke that one for Andy. Most often the "rules" are used to suppress dissent at DU.

Overall, I think the rules only apply to the "little people" of DU. The elites, like Andy, are above the rules.
