@mguy808 I can appreciate what you're saying, but keep in mind I spent half a night composing it and it's not even 24hrs old.

While this was the longest thing I put out last night, it was hardly the only thing. Including one asking him to post less, especially on his blog because when he posts anything, people upvote it to high heavens because they agree with him. But that causes the fixed payout pool to deplete and tends to drain the total voting power of the whole site.

He could have flagged it and sent it into oblivion, especially considering the tagspam post he put out about the same time that I didn't notice until after I had posted this.

He already upvoted this and was one of the first to do so. First blog of mine he has ever upvoted, despite his upvotes on my commentary being a regular source of my income from this site since arrival.
This means he digs deep, reads the posts, reads the comments, responds where he feels it is warranted and gives everything he can his due consideration and doesn't just immediately upvote or flag as a kneejerk reaction.

In short, he's a very hard working whale.

All of that aside...
I've seen in the past where he's upvoted stuff and later made changes to the rules. So I know he's here and he's watching, but he's just not being vocal right now. I'm satisfied with his response. He can use his position as admin of the site to announce any changes, or responses but if he did it right away rather than thinking it through, it wouldn't mean as much because he has a much bigger picture to consider than we do.
Plus he knows my email address, it's all over github :)

Bottom line...
@dantheman is a lot more reasonable than any of the other devs out there that I've had the pleasure of knowing. We don't need to try and bait a response out of him. The response will come in the form of announcements when the time is right.
