lately seems to have descended into a place
trolled by a few users who think they are demi-gods
seem to disagree with every man and his dog wanting to make a post unless it complies with their strict view on what should and shouldn't be posted on Wowhead General.
I can name those users. Mostly becuase they show up in every thread. They know who they are to. But they aren't trolls. Matter of fact without those users i wouldnt know alot about class mechanics, proper specs and lots of other advice.
They actually help and answer questions correctly. They just are most likely tired of the same questions over and over that with a little thought, or use of the same site they are posting on, can be answered. Only reason they might look like an arse is because they are annoyed.

Some people are just out for recognition and stardom and lacking any other means to achieve them, resort to gaining their notoriety through infamy. Through the filter of delusion, infamy looks a lot like popularity.

Careful. You're almost sounding like Aestu.
Some people want to be popular but by being known as complete asses, they fool themselves into thinking they're popular.
Better?

Edit: I think it's called sociopathy.

Bunnies, my friend. The answer is always bunnies

Yes, I am trying to start a movement here.
If it's not the Grail Bunny, I don't like them...except in stew.

Now, I hope this thread can actually stay on track, as it seems that the discussion has changed focus.
Sigh. It's quite sad that I have to
repeat
this - even in this thread. :<

James Madison would disagree with that statement.
I had to plough through some of the federalist papers in high school, Tyranny of the Majority was one of his concerns during the initial years of the American democracy. His fear was that the Majority may agree with what is popular, but not with what is right and there had to be some safeguard against that. It is, in part, the reason why we have a senate with two members from each state and a house with representitives proportioned by population, a minimum of two from each state.
The senate keeps the highly populated states like California and New York from controlling all of the legislative branch.
adverbed a verb
Also why certain 'inalienable' rights were clearly defined in the Constitution, and the reason that the federal court system was granted the power to interpret law, and strike them down if they were found to violate one of those Constitutional rights.
That's why I laugh so much hearing people complain when the court overturns a state law that was passed via ballot proposition: A majority vote does not guarantee that such a law will be declared constitutional, and our government is set up to allow the federal court that final decision.
I agree with both of you, in part. Popular election will always result in some level of 'tyranny of the majority', regardless of the safeguards you build into it.
