but i know it's a lie

Well, if it's a lie, de Troy, why have we never had some modest attempt at reform around here?

Why have my suggestions [how many months ago?] of a random, rotating panel of some kind to judge word games, or to intervene firmly but politely in unpleasant exchanges or Carpal Tunnel bullying or shunning or peacock shows of lordly disdain, why have these suggestions been either ignored, or ridiculed, or brazenly misrepresented by the ruling elite?

Why will no Carpal Tunnel countenance the indignity of this gentle reproach:

You're showing your plumage.
