:::Obviously with a majority vote, the positives and negatives of the proposal ''should'' be taken into account when voting. Maybe it can be brought up in the discussion for others to see which can help to prevent "significant opposition" to a proposal but other than that, I'd rather go with a majority vote - it just seems more effective most of the time...or in other words, keep everything how it is now and change almost nothing. {{GGsig}} 19:37, March 17, 2012 (UTC)
::::Frankly, then, we're at an impasse. I do not believe that a majority is sufficient to make a decision (see [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:What_is_consensus?#Not_a_majority_vote|here]]). In fact, even using the term 'vote' interchangeably with 'consensus' dirties the idea of what consensus really is - a general agreement on a course of action, as opposed to what it isn't - a majority vote, or indeed any vote at all. Certainly just because the answer to the problem of dying discussions hasn't become apparent doesn't mean that the status quo is the best solution, so I'd encourage youeveryone (including myself) to be open minded in searching and discussing possible solutions, rather than sticking with the status quo simply because it's the most convenient and ''appears to be'' the most suitable of our options. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 20:35, March 17, 2012 (UTC)
