Yeah, it's ridiculous to disapprove of Dave since this place wouldn't even exist without him.
unless you believe your membership here has had a negative influence on your life. similarly, one can have a negative opinion of God if he prefers he had never been born at all.
A poster can leave, and a living human can commit suicide. Dave and God both left us an opt-out option.
Excellent point that will be ignored by the people who need to understand it the most.
Uh, thats a big of a tangent. You can easily argue (whether you agree or not) that Dave has neglected his duties as a owner/administrator and moderator.
