Q: You again?

A: So it would seem.

Q: Do you know why we've brought you in for more questions?

A: The overtime?

Q: We've got a list of charges we'd like you to answer to.

A: I'm listening.

Q: First, that you're a dictator. Is this true?

A: I administrate a forum on the internet. Is that what you mean?

Q: We have witnesses you claim you are a control freak.

A: I also torture kittens in my spare time.

Q: We'll look into that later. Are you or are you not a dictator and a control freak?

A: I dictate policy and have a controlling interest in the enterprise. In order to fulfill my vision of the site, I have made decisions which have been unpopular with some.

Q: What exactly is your "vision"?

A: A pleasant salon. A place where you don't have to watch your back. People are free: they're just not free to be idiots. As I've written here, acf is for "anyone who wants it, knows how to use it, sees the potential in it, and can operate both their heart and their head to appreciate it." Perhaps that's freakish.

Q: Would you say that you are obsessively detail oriented?

A: The devil is in the details. Do I look like Beelzebub to you?

Q: You're evading the question.

A: I will cop to a lesser plea of being a perfectionist.

Q: Is acf insular?

A: In what way?

Q: I think you know what insular means.

A: It's a bunch of cyclists, some of whom enjoy each other's company, online and perhaps off. If that's your definition of insular, you're welcome to it.

Q: Is it a "bubble"?

A: Excuse me? Who comes up with this stuff?

Q: I think you know who.

A: Rewind the tape till you get to the part about unpopular decisions. If time heals wounds, it's taking its time about it. The accusations that have been made about me are without merit.

Q: As a dictator, you would say that.

A: I suppose so.
