All,

I am occupied by family obligations today, so I'm unable to respond fully, though I have been monitoring the list.

With regard to the discussion of consensus and the term "minority," I believe this could be resolved if everyone simply looked at the relevant section of then Charter.  Sorry I'm not in a place where I can easily cut and paste.

Dear All,
Consensus is consensus without any adjective.
I disagree to add an adjective ,like soft or rough or relative or .... to it.
This is an invention by a specific group of people and does not have any valid and legitimate basis.
I hope people in their reply respect others withourt recourse to any irony.Regards

Nope you are perfectly reasonable.  But in this instance I think your perception is incorrect.  I could write the next post from the other side myself if I had to.  We aren't talking past each other -- we just disagree.

To put it simply, you proposed an elegant compromise.  Most of the majority are willing to accept it.  So let's just do it.

Hi,

Well that is the impression I have.  When I see responses to the various positions I think I am seeing people talk past each other.

But I accept that you may not see me as a reasonable person.
