...should we...continue to accept his {Tye's} caprice over...the Monastery?

Yes: {X}; No: { }; Don't know: { }; Don't care: { }

My advice to you is to give up, move on, and put in effort elsewhere. If you have not done so already, I suggest that you get a Stack Exchange account and check out their Stack Overflow, Programmers, and Computer Science sites. I believe you will be happier there.

My experience causes me to hypothesize that it is rare for organizational entities with a significant history to have successful directed transformations. Instead, much more often, evolutionary leaps happen when a new thing comes along and renders the prior thing obsolete. Thus, I predict that whatever complaints you have about this place now, you will continue to have them for the next decade if you remain.
