PerlMonks is not a democracy. That I get; understand and even endorse. But ...

Autocracy, without wide -- if not universal -- acceptance of divine right; invites question, challenge, and even rebellion.

From whom does Tye inherit his authority?

Where are: vroom, nate, kurt, Petruchio, theonetwo, yitzchak, seveas?

Do they -- knowingly -- (continue) to cede authority to Tye  or did he inherit his "authority" purely as an accident of those above named (former?) Gods, by dint of longevity alone?

And if so, should we -- collectively, the constant, responsive, backbone of PerlMonks - continue to accept his caprice over how, and why, and what, and when, happens and is possible, and should be acceptable, here at the Monastery?

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
