Original comment:

I don’t know much about voting systems, but I know someone who does. Unfortunately he’s currently banned. Maybe we can wait until his 3-month ban expires and ask him for advice?

this was definitely a case of the CoC people getting annoyed with someone who disagreed with them and wouldn’t give up

People suck. If someone is disagreeing with you and won't give up, it's time to reevaluate why you're defending your position so vehemently.

From what I could tell it's just because he cared about things a lot, and maybe is a little on the spectrum. He definitely wasn't wrong, and maybe other people would have just given up and gone on with their lives but I don't think that's necessarily a trait to encourage.

To put it another way, sometimes when people kick up a fuss it's because they are obstinate naysayers, and sometimes it's because they're doggedly holding decision makers to account. This seemed more like the latter from what I read.

Exactly, which is why as a decision-maker, if you're getting a lot of pushback, it's important to take a step back and rethink your decision. It could be that you're absolutely right, or it could be that you're being obstinate just because you don't like having your authority challenged.

That's basically my day job. I make decisions all the time, and when I get pushback, I take a step back and try to look at the decision with fresh eyes. I would expect anyone in a position like this to do the same.

Ah yeah I misread your comment. 100% agree.
