It sounds like that former sysop was a dictator or something. Why didn't they allow a discussion before enacting such a weird policy? Was it because the policy might get voted down, and they won't get their way? I follow enough world events to know that Enacting policies unilaterally and Silencing opposition is what dictators like do. My comment may be inappropriate and speculative, but that's now I interpret how the policy came to be.
