Well, we could dispense with the "one Founder" place for starters. It seems to be purely honorific. That position, or rather the prestige that remains attached to it, is more trouble than it is worth and is frankly embarrassing at times. Not that we are incapable of embarrassing ourselves in umpteen other ways, of course. Why one person who has never been appointed to anything here somehow carries so much sway in an open project a decade and more after its creation simply baffles me. As do their favoured terms, such as "moral ambitiousness". I guess my inability to comprehend all of this is an indication that I live in the sticks, a simple country boy. - Sitush (talk) 00:11, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

Dropped it in there in bold a little earlier, you're right it was a little buried. Usually you want to give a summary paragraph in the first section of these things, but this is such a complicated topic I needed two paragraphs just to introduce it. ResMar 12:51, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
