Question for non-MEGs

[Morgan D.]

I've been told my answer was confusing, and yes, I realise it was. 
Too many thoughts in a hurry, with dreadful results.

Anyway, months ago, when we were discussing what would be our ruling 
regime and our linkage to MEG, some of you started muffling the 
discussion and urging us all to work, not talk. I wrote a long 
message saying why I thought that was a poor decision, that we would 
only be postpoing the problems and making it a lot worse. Regardless, 
the general reation was "let's work, not talk". 

So here we are. Again. FAQ made no decisions, and now MEG dictates 
what FAQ must do. Which is, basically, "work, don't talk". 

Am I happy? No way.

Do I like the way MEG has been conducting business? Not at all.

Do I see a way out for FAQ? Not really. 

Would I like to have policies regarding FAQ seriously discussed here? 
Yes, but honestly, I think it's too late. I think FAQ could now 
discuss our policies to Doomsday, and it wouldn't make a difference. 
More to the point, I think FAQ policies will *not* be seriously 
discussed here even if MEG gives us permission to do so. There's just 
too many MEGs and ex-MEGs here, too much resentment creeping in the 
dark, too much we are not allowed to mention because it rubs on old 
scars. Non-MEGs like me would start making suggestions based on 
logic, on work strategy, on convenience -- while the MEGs and ex-MEGs 
would be talking about intrigue, betrayal, coup d'etats, and general 
paranoia. What would be the point?

I'd love to see FAQ problems discussed FOR REAL. I don't think it's 
possible. And I don't want to be told by MEG, "well, you can discuss, 
but we don't have to listen to you, do we?" I feel it would be a 
waste of saliva and energy. So unless anyone has a proposition about 
how we can discuss all this crap for real, I'm opposed to it. I'm not 
in the mood for farcical debates. I'd be insulted to be dragged to 
one.

Maybe non-MEGs should just leave and let MEG alone to deal with their 
Boggarts in the closet. 

(Ouch, my phone bill!) 

Ja,
