I think he gets the feeling that the leaders have all the say and the "underlings" have none.
In my experience, granted, its short compared to some, this is not true.... I base that off my experience with CS adminning... the request from members are almost always carefully voted on by admins.
however, there are always seperations in people, especially in organizations... I work along side everyone of my 30+ employees, I insist on them inputting information into ways to better operate my business, and ways to more efficiently take care of my customers... but when it comes down to it, me, and my boss, and his boss, ultimately make decisions.... They(my employees) trust me with their paychecks to provide a profitable experience, and I sometimes sleeplessly do anything in my power to make my people successful.
The same goes for TOJ, I trust the leadership above me, flaws, or no flaws, to provide me a rewarding exprience, in my situation, I truly value the christian fellowship I direly need. Also, I truly value the opportunities I have been given to witness to the gaming community. While, I expect those above me (i.e. Tek, Elite, etc...) to listen to any suggestion I may have.. I also know they are going to make decisions that they feel are best for the community...
