Jim, words are cheap, aren't they?


 > The proposal....


Your proposal has a fundamental flaw.  Trusting that voting achieves
its purpose means to trust that people are acting fairly and that
everybody's opinion gets a fair chance based on technical merit.  Here
you are, instead, openly stating that voting is about convincing
people to be on your side, instead of believing that they can achieve
an independent opinion on their own.  In the past you have actively
lobbied against people behind their back, with mailing lists and
weekly phone conferences set up for the purpose.  You also have
admitted that you have personal grudges against Andrew.  Therefore I
definitely don't trust that voting in this community is going to be
fair.  I am not against voting per se, but here, I have my serious
doubts about it.
