I haven't. I was referring to the very first sentence of this thread:

This will also be the second time I've had to point out that you're attributing motives to me and to people who have supported my idea which none of us have said that we possess.
Characterizing the call for more democratic representation as elitism -- and then drawing conclusions about the characters of people who disagree with you on the basis of that characterization -- is not exactly fair.

Please, could you show me where I have attributing motives to you or drawn any conclusions of characters of people?

To my mind we have a democratic representation: no book in itself is discriminated, they appear all one after one according to their upload time. And of course the name of the most busiest uploader is seen more often on the page. Every other solution would lead to some kind of discrimination.

I see your problem but the solution can't be to restrict the number of uploads but to better manage the amount of uploads. Maybe it would be possible (if helpful) to implement an additional column with the number of downloads, maybe the search function could be improved if we would make better use of the keywords option and tag every upload, maybe Alex will introduce a whole new database for the books sometimes (as it was hinted in some threads) ...

Additionally, two moderators (who shall remain unnamed) have mentioned they think the exact same activity we've complained about is unfair to other uploaders.

I thought so. Otherwise this thread would have been handled otherwise.

I'd also request that you not name, expose to controversy or otherwise single out any one particular uploader -- even the one you're trying to defend. We've kept people's names out of this conversation so far out of respect for individual Mobile Read members. It would be unfair not to continue to be respectful.

Isn't this a little bit hypocritical? The only reason why I entered this thread for a second time (at the first time I really wanted to help you, okay, I guess I failed, but then Doitsu presented a solution to your problem and this thread could have come to an end) was that I felt that crutledge was treated highly unfair and disrespectful, to put it mildly. Judging from your other contributions on this forum I believe you that this was not your intention, but this is nevertheless how your posts arrived here.
