RE: Anyone not in favor of a PR-Action against Jefsey Morfin

Messages like "I'm for this" or "I'm against this" seem to be 
taking the form of a vote, when it seems to me that what's 
probably more appropriate would be an attempt at persuasion.

Yes. We have an RFC with a procedure. "I don't like the procedure, and will
oppose it regardless" is not a tenable position. That's pretty much the kind
of non pointed commenting that could easily be justified to ignore in
assessing consensus. Would a WG chair be expected to take "I personally
don't like @#$@ about this" as a serious objection in any other case? How
about submitting something flawed to the RFC editor? Should the RFC editor
stop demanding statements for IANA, IPR, and security because someone says
"I don't support security sections, and I don't  care?" Personally It would
be great to hear people say "I don't think this case is exemplary to the
RFC" if people could muster it. Otherwise you're simply faciliting the
pointless DOS problems that this RFC was meant to eliminate.
