People talk of bestial cruelty, but that's a great injustice and insult to the beasts; a beast can never be so cruel as man, so artistically cruel.

I still believe having DM's that are allowed (and encuraged) to play
is a bad thing. It fosters even more favouritism than before and it
takes away what little DM time the players get even more. That said,
I believe the same thing should apply to the Admins (if they are
also DMs) in the name of ALFAs waining consistency.

On the other hand, if it was a non-DM Admin, i'd allow him/her to
play his/her heart out as long as he/she still did his/her job.
pragmatic (adj.)
The opposite of idealistic is pragmatic, a word that describes a philosophy of "doing what works best."
From Greek pragma "deed," the word has historically described philosophers and politicians who were
concerned more with real-world application of ideas than with abstract notions. A pragmatic person
is sensible, grounded, and practical.

Considering 4 of the 5 admin positions require you to actually be a DM, i have no idea where that came from :D
