You sound very certain, and yet I'm very certain that if we put it to a vote here, you'd lose -- resoundingly.

I didn't realize truth was subject to a vote. Perhaps you meant to say that you believe my assertion about your accuracy would be proven false after further examination of the facts.

People are sick and tired of people bit___ing about the admins.

No doubt. Most of the time I would agree with this attitude. However, NOT when the Admin violates his own rule to insist that people not violate his own rule - and a somewhat subjective rule at that. In this limited case, I have no problem with people kvetching.

You're wrong, and I'm not sorry to point it out.

Did you take a vote to find out I was wrong, or did you decide it all by yourself?

Admins do a good, thankless job here. They should get tons more latitude.

No argument here, mostly.

People who post about their right to whine -- and I realize that wasn't you, but that "low" guy -- are (1) boring and (2) annoying and (3) ungrateful for the work Admins too.

Actually, go re-read his posts. He never posted about his right to whine; simply that he WOULD whine. I'm the one who posted about his RIGHT to whine. I only jumped in because I agreed with his underlying point - that is: 'Breaking News' is a subjective term, and when the Admin himself posts NON-Breaking News in Breaking News to tell people to stop posting NON-Breaking News, it doesn't do much to clarify the term.

So go take your vote. Win or lose, it means diddly-squat. (Unless you can convince the Admin to bounce me, which would probably make you feel better, but won't make me any more or less accurate.)

"Unless you can convince the Admin to bounce me, which would probably make you feel better"

Nonsense, why would I do that? You're actually taking the pro-whining position. Which puts me, in contraposition to you, in a rather cherry spot. It's great to actually find anyone willing to stick up for that. I mean, outside the 'rats camp! Go for it.
