Where does it mention that he tells you to shut the fuck up? If I recall correctly, he is "all ears" to suggestions on how to improve the new system.
Calm your tits.

He is leader, with Neko and Kingsta. He is also the 'work horse' that is trying ever so politely to get this organization back on its feet. Without snake, this org would still be dead (or mumbling in its sleep or whatever). If you wanna be the guy to kill it, shame on you. Before the merge there was only a few posts per week, now look at the sudden activity, isn't that a good thing? At least now it's headed out of port and sailing the seas in search of new things.

You've been asked multiple times to: Remove the bushido, remove paying for ranks, remove waiting for ranks, etc etc.

Did you even read my post at all?
He is listening to suggestions to improve the new system. Taking it down would be a going in the wrong direction. Of course he cares about his own 'ideals' and how he plays aikido, how the heck is that plain bullshit? I think you meant the whole 'forcing' to play his way. You should probably read my post again.

Again, as I mentioned above, removing stuff is going in the wrong direction.
1. Removing bushido? If you can't play bushido style, that's fine. It's not easy. But removing it? Uh no, the merge was to increase activity and save 3 orgs from dying, and it did. As snake said to you and to everyone else, if you have a suggestion on different skills/requirements for each tier, he would be glad to hear it. So please, if you can think of anything that would be good for generic aikido play for each tier, tell us!
2. Remove paying for ranks? Think of it as a donation for future TA events. It's not even that expensive to begin with. If you're in TA then you must be good at aikido, no? Go win a few aikido tourneys.
3. Remove waiting for ranks? As much as we love the sudden burst of activity, we don't want spam. Having to wait for ranks means that if you are determined enough to pass, you'll spend the time getting better and increasing your skills. Being impatient is lame, not everything is about ranking anyways.

PS. Don't take anything that we say as insulting to you personally. We're not your parents. Retaliating with insults isn't the way to go.
