He does, and he has.
The problem being, in the wrong cases.
He's mausoleumed members who posed common sense and decency; doesn't want them around.
So yeah, the fellow alum's exercised "control."
Yeah, Skimmer controlled DU1 and DU2 with a limp wrist and an iron fist.
He conducted periodic Stalinist purges, and doled out tombstones to anyone who sounded resasonable.
But tombstoning was his most jealously guarded power, and he gave it up with DU3.
Now the MIRT liquidation squads, composed of half moonbats and half moles, have tombstoning authority.
DUmmies and moles control the door to the memory hole, and have total censorship power.
There is little evidence to suggest that Skimmer even scans threads on DU3.
He's a media tycoon, wallowing in DUmpbucks, and enjoys his free time now that Vietnamization of the DUmp is complete.
