I've already answered this question in two ways on the list: (1) we're not going to fall back on first-mover advantage, and (2) the proposal was misinformed or, less benignly, misleading about potential moderators. Now I'll add two more: (3) it's already led to one on-list message with bizarre and borderline ad-hominem accusations involving "endless"(?!) teenage spats, "dark unspecified hints of bad faith," and an analogy to Bismarck; and, off-list, (4) the proposal's own advocates can't seem to get their stories straight about who is or isn't involved. We won't be bum-rushed into that or any other proposal by a handful of aggressive voices. And if it feels like any proposal is being pushed in ways that shut down or preclude further discussion, that's probably a pretty good indicator of the approach they'd bring to running the list.
