    The discussion period is over. Everyone should indeed vote responsibly and thoughtfully, which, being a democratic process, means they should vote for what *they* believe in, not what you or anyone else thinks.

    Adults' vote would hardly be motivated by reverse psychology
    (e.g. voting against "what I think or anyone else think").

    But it is worth remembering that to cancel someone's life mission is nothing less than an expressed death (non-existence) wish.

    FSF board also followed some process but some people are trying to
    remove entire board now.

    If some other organiztions who use tools from Debian - demand similar
    things for Debian DDs who voted against them !

    Indeed.

    Cancel mob can never be satisfied and, if encouraged, they will demand
    more sacrifices soon.

    How could you consider that you are actually asking anyone to vote
    responsibly when you are trying to present them with the idea that
    voting options you dislike is not responsible?

    Your sense of democracy raises questions.

    It's far easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
