::::As for compromise... I agree that compromise should be our highest priority when in consensus-building. But that is much easier said than done, and I fear that holding a high standard for compromise in all situations will, again, deadlock the decision-making process. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LiR</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">speak</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">read</font>]]</sup>''' 23:54, October 14, 2012 (UTC)
::::'''Added:''' To be clear, I'm not trying to rehash that discussion, I'm simply trying to explain why the decision ultimately reached is a valid one, as it relates to the discussion here. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LiR</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">speak</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">read</font>]]</sup>''' 23:56, October 14, 2012 (UTC)
:::::If neutral votes aren't counted for anything then I have a question: ''what is the point of voting neutrally at all?'' I know it's merely just a vocal representation of "being in the middle" but as far as I'm concerned, a vote is a vote no matter how it was applied. Here's a scenario: 13 users vote; 10 vote neutral and 3 vote support; it would still pass unanimously because those other 10 votes were discarded. Obviously a neutral vote doesn't automatically mean support nor does it mean oppose but they can still provide good reasoning and it's still a vote, so imo even if it doesn't provide a clear answer, the number of neutral votes should be counted with the support and opposition votes and then determining the outcome, whether it be via consensus or a majority outcome, should take those votes into account. If a vote isn't counted then really it just seems like a waste of a vote. Just a thought. {{GGsig}} 08:09, October 15, 2012 (UTC)
