If dictatorships trouble you so much why are you posting here? atheistforums.org is ran with a dictatorship model - Moderators pick the administrators and moderators pick other moderators. You don't vote for anything and you will be banned if you don't agree with the rules decided without your consent. Quite frankly, it works perfectly.
No it is not a dictatorship like a country. It is a privately owned entity, no different than setting the rules in your own house. Not even close to being a government dictatorship. With this board no one is being forced to post here whereas when you live under dictatorship you are forced to live under their rule without your consent. In the context of this board I am by my own choice here. The owners of this site and the moderators don't have a gun to my head forcing me to be here. They cannot hunt me down and punish me if I leave and never post here again.
