That was then, this is now. Though I'm not denying your unanimous vote, but
if the rest of NELUG still feels the same on the issue, I'd sure like to see
their support for you now. You appear to be the _only_ one sticking up for
the position. I would say that it is time for another vote on the matter.
And yes, it should be NELUG making the decision, but weigh carefully what has
been said here.

I do not see that as arrogance at all. I believe this discussion is helping
the situation for Shiri, by as you said, showing support for her and her
cause. Also, I am not (and I doubt anyone else is either) phased by your
multiple apologies to Shiri, when you refuse to weigh the issues and instead
rest on a decision made a year ago.
