And then when the group becomes unusable, Kerman the German will oppose
and criticize any and all attempts to make it usable again. He is Mr.
"adjourne sina dia."

Typical Kerman the German bureaucracy. "If you can't do it perfectly
with forever guarantees, you should sit on your hands and do nothing at
all, but do demonstrate your technical and historical knowledge while
doing nothing." Don't move forward. Just explain why everybody and
nobody and even Parzival should do nothing, and stick to that position
like a tap root.

However Kerman's suggestion that the Big Eight should meddle with the
alt.* hierarchy will only cause more friction and confusion. This is a
German paper-pusher's dream!

Of course there is no legitimate way to re-assign moderators. It's ad
hoc, impromptu, "let's all figure it out together" kind of system.
Different server operators can do different things, or agree to do the
same things with management of a group in the alt.* hierarchy.

The ad-hoc system works great on Mastodon and ActivityPub systems.
Millions of people are using these systems now without Kerman the
German's sage lordship telling them a festering problem is better than
an imperfect solution.

We don't need Newszatsgruppen Bambi Ding Dongs or News Waffen Yes Yes
men stepping in to call the shots. Kerman the German is trying to play
you for suckers. He is staging a "binARYAN BITzkrieg" to pwn all your
binary.

Herr Kerman is stealthily trying to convert you into his vassal.
