I think it is ok to rally people for voting or making them aware that
something will go through which they probably don't want to, and also ok to
reconsider based and giving them reasons.
But I think that prominent people like you should refrain from asking
people to vote no while providing only generic/blanket statments ("morally
wrong", etc.) because you are in a position where some people will just
blindly follow what you say, and we should vote purely on the base on the
technical merit of the proposed rfc, and not based on which sides has the
more prominent people supporting it.
I wish that were true but the numbers prove otherwise J
Regardless, my ‘call for help’ was very much in context (even if terse), it
wasn’t a ‘vote No because I say so’. It also followed a long online debate
on internals@ where I expressed my opinion very clearly.
I’d agree that ‘Vote X and get $500’, ‘Vote Y for a spot in heaven’, or
‘Vote Z because I say so’ are no-no’s.
