The IETF actually works by rough consensus not consensus. If you are
the only one who holds an opinion then by the decision making process
we as a community have chosen we will decide against you.
You have an opportunity to try and convince us you are right and we
are wrong. But if you fail to do that we will move on without you.
If you attempt to stop us from moving on once we have listened to you
and determined the rough consensus is against you, then you will be
excluded. I think we have decided as a community that filibustering
is not something we will tolerate.
So you should expect to be excluded from any forum where you filibuster.
