"take us for granted when it comes to these types of decisions"
This is an entirely false accusation against Muhammad. He has been as caring and solicitous of the members of this forum as of any I have ever experienced since being online in 1986. And, believe me, I have been on some great forums.
This is a tiny, virtually meaningless non-issue, which any reasonable person would have accepted without comment. That you continue to return to the issue, yet refuse any explanation as reasonable, and instead escalate the issue, and "invent" additional offenses supposedly commited by Muhammad against members, is disingenous at best.
No, I don't think Muhammad is perfect, but your accusations cast him and his intentions in a particularly mean and unkind light, which I think is not only an utterly false potrayal of Muhammad, but is fairly categorized as viscious.
As to whether Muhammad and his forum, or the users who benefit from it, deserve the real credit, well, that's one of those "chicken or the egg" debates. Obviously one would not exist without the other. Yet, as we all know Muhammad pays the full freight for the operational overhead of this forum, and has for almost 4 years. I know the costs of a forum of this sophistication and scope are in excess of $250,000, so far, and still counting.
By any canon of logic or reason he is permitted to construct the operational management of this forum according to his best decision and judgement. And for those who find this intolerable, well... the Net is a big place.
