That's a pretty weird way of looking at it.
There are people who disagrees with the "consensus", which would lead one to believe that there isn't a consensus.
There will never be 100% consensus, especially not when bad actors are around. Get used to coming close to 100% (that's enough in the current system).
That is true. But to claim consensus when the lines haven't moved is a bit weird and, in my view, quite problematic. A more honest approach would be to admit/accept that consensus could not be reached but that this particular group has decided to move forward with an agreed upon set of solutions.
At the very least accept that this consensus is not morally binding/normative for others in the community and cannot be used to brand people as saboteurs and bad actors.
The funny thing is, if only they didn't try to pass it off as "consensus" in this way, this is exactly the kind of decisive leadership Gavin's been shouting about for a year now. Which is good, I guess.
Mostly it's just amusing that people around here like the think of themselves as crypto-anarchists, but only until someone disagrees. Then they swiftly turn into crypto-fascists and start whining about "contentious issues" that shouldn't be discussed and attempting to justify stifling debate about it and calling people "shills". You're about as anarchistic as the average teenager, but with slightly less of a spine.

Sure, but you can do hookers and blow with money you should have used for taxes and claim it's because you have integrity.
