Not sure I agree. (That's a politer way of saying "I think you are wrong",
which is how I'd say it if hostilities had commenced, or "You're full of ____",
if hostilities were well underway :-)

In a group like Wellylug anything engendering hostility is IMHO a BAD thing, at
the very least it creates division & takes time & involvement away from the
core activities (which are enshrined in guidelines somewhere, but I'm sure
don't involve hostile bickering :-)


The 51% thing seems to be a new rule (at least I don't remember any such
rule/guideline ever being ratified by our carefully defined ratification
process :-)
