Re: [ga-rules] Re: Consensus

[Eric Dierker <eric@hi-tek.com>]

Dear all,

I have reread this following paragraph and have printed it out and stuck it to my
wall. Mr. Lovell is one of the finest wordsmiths I have ever observed.  If anyone
ever raises the issue of consensus and can read then they would be a fool not to
understand it after reading this paragraph.  This also sets the straw argument of
voting versus consensus in it's rightful backroom in the corner place.

Thank you Mr. Lovell,
Eric
