I get it now: you wanted to use the policy as a wedge, and the policy gave first.

You know, I'd estimate that approximately 3000 people have been users of the Cellar and then stopped. As opposed to the 100 or so who've kept up with it. What is it that needs to be *maintained* here? Maybe it should've been different all along.

Find me 100 people - hell, find me 3 people who are willing to put up with each other 100% of the time.

As to the slippery slope, anything can happen with a dictator who thinks he's benevolent. But what I've been thinking about recently is how a society of imperfect humans can compromise on perfect principle and still NOT go down the toilet. It seems to happen all the time.
