Then maybe there should be a clearcut distinction between the policies then and now and it should be made clear that there is that distinction. Be honest and say it as it is. I mean you can't make it to everybodies taste but at least things are clearcut that way and can be enforced without much bravado. And speaking for myself I would find it nice to know what the policy is. There seems to be a choice between being a policeman or not being a policeman, but to me it seems to be impossible to be something in between and get away with it without inevitably someone feeling hurt. f.i. I did like DB's approach in pointing out the faults in the way of argumantation between JDG en Jeroen in part of their dispute. But that is being a policeman and it forced DB to react to both sides in equal ways without being able to take an argumentative part himself. Question is do you really want that?
