response 297 of 424: Mark Unseen   Jan 29 19:43 UTC 2004

Even though I'm not excited about this whole affair, I guess I recommend a
"Yes" vote on this proposal.  That would ostensibly restore things to where
they were before the "unauthorized" item deletions took place.  I'm sorry that
staff will have to spend time on this should it pass, but that is not the
fault of the membership - the fault lies elsewhere.

I voted no on this proposal.

I definitely don't agree with jp2 that the Grex staff has any contempt 
for the users.  I've never seen any indication that any of the users 
feel that way -- until jp2 said it.

Like cmcgee, I voted against this proposal.

Logic and precedent are not the only criteria for making decisions.  One of
my favorte "Bill of Rights" lists is in a book on independent thinking.

VIII  You have the right to be illogical in making decisions.

A common way for people to manipulate others is by claiming that you cannot
do anything illogical.  They try to force you to go against your own values,
which may place a higher priority on relationships and feelings, by insisting
that you must  be "logical".    Logic and precident are simply -one- way to
make good decisions.

May I draw your attention response 124, above?

Re 298: The membership is obviously divided on this question.  Is it really
any wonder that the staff is awaiting instruction from the membership?

It seems to me that the real contempt would be pre-empting the membership's
decision.

Jamie, being a dick about it may convince some people to vote against your
proposal just to spite you.

Actually, if you go back and look, it's not in the least uncommon for people
to announce how they are voting or have voted.

response 321 of 424: Mark Unseen   Jan 30 14:44 UTC 2004

I'll sometimes announce how I intend to vote, but I rarely announce how
I *have* voted.  And I always reserve the right to change my mind.
