He volunteered. Do you not trust him? The votes seem representative of what most rational people would've expected.
Well, I also voted for Secret User, so it sounds like she's at least at 3 by my count, but...
It shouldn't matter whether or not I trust him. There's a way of doing this without anyone having to rely on anyone at all. There already is controversy about some people supposedly voting by posting instead of PMing and thus being ignored. Why not have a system that simply works, free of manual counting and the vote-counter making personal calls?
Who is the "we" that will agree on these things?
That is one of the things that has yet to be agreed upon.
Really, the council has no power anyway. This is a temporary group of people to figure out all these things. If they don't, it fails. Maybe I am wrong, but it all works for me.
Fair enough. Like I said, I do want to stay out of this. It just irks me when I see people taking a dump on democracy like this.
There was a thread on what the Zetetic Council is:

Yes. I think it's sensible to say that this thread should reach a conclusion before we vote, wouldn't you agree? Alternatively, if you feel everything that should be concluded has already been agreed upon, we should probably action these agreements. One of the important points in this thread was that the Constitution must come before the elections. That did not happen. We agreed on going with preferential voting. That also didn't happen. This election has been ran prematurely and not in accordance to what we've managed to establish in the thread you quoted.
Id like to see the council that the people voted for, now show some ideas and an agenda and try to show those who seem confused what the point is.
You're the one that's confused here. You ignored what everyone agreed upon and now you're acting like your decision has any legitimacy. Read through the damned thread and do things according to procedures we've come to accept.
