Psuedo-democratic is all

The current system is no more than pseudo-democratic. If you want to vote, you have to join. Which requires the approval of staff. So, unless you have the approval of staff, you can't eject said staff. Apparently a cabal of 16 is better than a cabal of one. Somehow.

(For the record, I was a founding member of OFTC. I was voted in as a Network Operator, which I later resigned due to personal problems, reinstated as a Network Representative, and then ejected. First staff member ever to be voted out by Core Committee, whoohoo. They're meant to record all this stuff, but I can't see it anywhere; oh well).
