"We" (or at least I am) are complaining about something that DMOZ pretends to be (i.e. an open directory) and which is not.

Normally I wouldn't care about a company/website pretending something and not delivering because I would look somewhere else, but with DMOZ, because they are seen as THE open directory with fair judgment and so on ... the search engines trust the listed websites there, give the links more juice, etc. And as a webmaster I do care about how my website is ranked in the search engines.

I guess my major complain is not necessarily about DMOZ, they can do whatever they want, but rather about the way the search engines value DMOZ links, which I consider inappropriate given the current status.
