Accepting your logic here,  then all the BoD and Staff have to do is drive
people away so there is no large participation and then they can revert to your
logic and do anything they want because there is no consensus because the
majority did not vote.  Is the US an illegitimate government because the
majority do not vote?

I have been working in outreach for too long not to know that we have lost more
participants due censorship and improprieties of the staff than any other
reasons.

You should get flamed for this, gone over one hundred million times
totalitaranistic derisive comment.
Just think about it.  By holding this position you disempower those who do
participate thereby causing less to participate.  Very few thoughts can be
poison but this one comes the closest.

But you knew that and still posted it ;>}
