Well, if the mods hadn't deleted the PMs while abiding by Dave's policy, Marokai might not be eligible for office.
The law against posting PMs was repealed, so that is not the case. Though I did voice my displeasure in private about the posting of PMs, as I have in public and private many times before.
I wish we had a more congenial atmosphere in this game, but my efforts to institutionalize that have faced considerable opposition. So I will keep instigating and pressing for reforms that demonstrate what we want in this online community. I hope people will join me in the effort.
