So Textcritic's view is essentially that nobody who disagrees with him deserves a say, and powderjunkie's view is essentially that anyone who disagrees with him is ignorant.
And you guys wonder why there is no 'intelligent' debate on the matter.
Incidentally, powder, the reason why they did it this way is because it takes orders of magnitude more effort to reverse a bad decision than it takes to make it in the first place. To promise public consultation after executing a fait accompli rather than before making any decisions is disingenuous and underscores this as being nothing more than moral grandstanding.
