Bottom line:
Peter pays for this board, it is Peter's bandwidth & he can do whatever he wants to do , whether you & I or anyone else likes it or not.
DEAL WITH IT!!!!!

You've missed the entire point. If the administrator tells his moderators to give the users free speach, if the administrator tells about Jovitalk's biggest policy rule being the free speech then it looks a bit sad that that administrator is going against his own policy just because people advise or talk about the decisions he has made.
What if Peter makes a new layout, and you don't like it and would expres your opinion about it. Wouldn't it feel stupid if he'd close the topic because you're talking about his decisions ? Also, everyone takes everything Peter says for granted even when someone else goes against it and tells him he's wrong about something. Just because he pays for this and runs it doesn't mean he knows it all.
Also, he's absolutely right when he says it's his decision to delete the search function. But you discuss things on a messageboard, even if you run it. If you notice your users are a bit upset about it, you discuss it. Even if you run it. And then you can make the final solution.
