I do think this is preferable to watching everybody go back
and forth and line up and take sides (which is basically what happens
when you try to do something like this in public; just look at the
start of this thread).  So, if you want to assume I was a part of
something sinister, then be my guest.

Apologies for sounding like a broken record, but one of the reasons I
write long emails is the anticipation of objections, like the one you
just raised, and which I had already responded to in the paragraph
immediately after the one you quoted.

I'm not sure I actually understand your question.  Are you asking
whether I'd uphold a Council decision that I personally disagree with?
 Of course, that's how we operate.  Would I endorse a decision that I
disagree with?  Probably not, and I wouldn't expect anybody to
"endorse" a decision they disagreed with.  This isn't a cult.  When I
vote I represent what I perceive to be the general needs/desires of
the entire community, and not any particular individual.  On major
topics I try to be up-front about how I will tend to vote so that
people can decide whether they want me to represent them.

And I'm all for various reforms, as I've stated in the preceding
threads and in my manifestos, such as more oversight of comrel and
ideally some kind of resolution to the Council/Trustee split.
