I suspect that you simply don't understand what it means in the context of a community-based open source project. It doesn't mean that you arbitrarily make decisions quietly and then go implement them without discussion with the community.

The graceful thing to do would be to say "I fucked up, sorry, there was no malice on my end, it was a simple mistake and I take responsibility for not communicating my ideas to the community before implementing them. Let's move on!" But your use of the word "king" makes me think you don't really quite understand the role, unless you're thinking of a king working in a parliamentary government. -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
