Yeah, sometimes I don't agree and I sit inside. I say it too, sometimes maybe a little heatedly. Old staff can vouch on that. One of the things I tell new staff is to not feel bullied if I or other staff disagree or think I/others have veterancy or whatever. Raise your thoughts. I want to hear them. If you feel strongly about something say so. If you're like me, sometimes you find it difficult to articulate your point or you just have some doubts or it makes you uncomfortable etc. Sometimes all that is needed is a second look, a different question and a different decision might be made due to new interpretations or something missed. Subtleties one mod might not be perceptive to. Heck, a small doubt could simply result in leaving the report open until the fifth mod comes in and adds some very relevant information that we some how missed.

For every idea I disagree with you on, there might be a Roy or three antagonising someone else like b-dubs with multiple "So back to Cien's idea again. Here is how I think it might work." or something. At the end of the day though, we do eventually need to move on from an issue and focus on other things.

I think you guys are overthinking this. With too stupid and ignorant of people doing the thinking. It sounds like a Habermas nightmare. (Which is the same thing as the Habermas utopia.)
