[EM] Open letter to STAR voting promoters

[Michael Ossipoff]

Robert is continuing to repeat his usual bigoted dogma schpiel with, as
always, no answer to objections.

That’s what makes it bigoted dogma instead of discussion.

That’s a violation of this mailing-list’s specified rules-of-conduct.

Maybe those rules should be attached to the top of each thread. …& enforced.

BTW, CES recommends Approval, & rarely if ever mentions Score.
