Whatever. Votes are preferences. I'd just as soon that people be |
| 16 |
honest with them. I sometimes vote for people below reopen and I'm |
| 17 |
not going to be bothered if some place me below it. You can never |
| 18 |
elect a body that matches everybody's preferences, and I'd like to |
| 19 |
think that people would tend to vote for council members that will |
| 20 |
strive to at least try to represent everybody regardless of whether |
| 21 |
they disagree. |

For my part, if somebody thinks I'm about to do something stupid, |
| 24 |
you're always welcome to let me know. I try to post my feelings on |
| 25 |
any controversial issue on -project before any meeting to give people |
| 26 |
the opportunity to do just that. I can't promise that I'll agree, but |
| 27 |
I will listen with the assumption that devs in general are fairly |
| 28 |
smart people. Usually I try to favor compromises that at least |
| 29 |
provide some way for everybody to get what they want, since that is |
| 30 |
the "Gentoo Way(TM)." |
