lol, Tupka217.

Gp75motorsports is right, an agreed definition of terms is needed before any worthwhile conversation can occur.

My dictionary says "A ruler who is unconstrained by law", which works well enough here, especially given what I said in my previous comment.

However, I think it is more fair to only call them "dictators" if they disregard any rules which are in place to limit abuse of power.

It's unfair for an admin to cite "unwritten rules" when blocking someone, and it is equally unfair for anyone else to cite "unwritten admin behaviour guidelines" when complaining that an admin is a dictator.

Edit: see also "Benevolent dictatorship", because not all dictatorships are "bad". "Tyrant" is a better word for an evil dictator.

edit: I'm sorry, I completely missed that mispelling.
