LW has a BDFL already. He’s just not very interested and (many) people don’t believe he’s able to restore the website. We didn’t “come to believe” anything.
No, EY effectively doesn’t act as a BDFL. He doesn’t have the effective power to ban contributors. The last time I asked him to delete a post he said that he can’t for site political reasons.
The site is also owned by MIRI and not EY directly.
Lessee… He isn’t so much benevolent as he is absent. I don’t see him exercising any dictatorial powers and as to “for life”, we are clearly proposing that this ain’t so.
So it seems you’re just wrong. An “absentee owner/founder” is a better tag.
