1) deciding if an idea should be implemented, 2) working out the details of it.
When I put an idea forward, it's with the belief that it should be implemented, and that the way I have outlined it is the best way for that to happen. But the point of the discussion is that neither of those beliefs may be correct, and that therefore it may be sensible not to implement the feature, or for details of it to change.
There are already things that have been brought up in the thread that are likely to change details - e.g. the issue with election TG spam causing players to block WA campaign TGs, the potentially excessive rounds of voting, and the naming confusion with the Secretariat. The biggest one is obviously whether the veto power affects the General Assembly. I would prefer it to, but that doesn't mean that my preference cannot change or that my preference should necessarily take precedence. Posts like Unibot's could change my mind. Posts like "My taxi driver told me this is a bad idea." won't.
Well you can take from the taxi driver post that it's one more GAer who opposes the idea of this being imposed on the GA. I don't believe it should be necessary for each one of us to write an essay for our opposition to be noted.
