I am well aware of how the demands started, and perhaps that should have been addressed as 'authoritarian'.

I don't think anyone is trying to be authoritarian or dictatorial.
It takes all kinds of people to make a community and the greatest achievement of MobileRead is that the majority of the people who post here feel that sense of community whether they like to be silly or not. Having two separate places to post where there are clearly defined guidelines, one geared more toward lightheartedness and the other more toward seriousness allows people to have a choice. No one is trying to restrict anyone from posting anywhere. To be honest, I am not "aware of how the demands started" but can't see the harm in the new forum.
I am sorry to see all the red "H"'s, though. I've bragged to my college-aged kids about how considerate and caring the posters to MobileRead are and I feel like the "H"'s are causing divisiveness and hard feelings.
