Here's a question, Steve: what social problems have been solved by anarchy?
If we toss out "oligarchy", decide "voting is evil", and only allow
most
decisions to proceed on some ill-defined notion of consensus, that's what
is left.

their technical power is threatened (be that editing or admin access),
others will just leave as soon as their reputation is at stake.
Right! Because we all know the solution to social problems is oligarchy.
