Yeah, it's clear from reading things that there's a lot of personal animosity around all of this, and Italo Vignoli's resignation[1] makes it clear that everyone has mud all over themselves. But that said, it's almost impossible to read that voting exchange[2] as anything other than a deliberate and petty steamrolling of dissent by the current majority. Even being extremely charitable and supposing that the fact that not everyone is native to the english language, it seems impossible to reconcile the decision to not count this vote or record the dissenting comments because it was "unclear" with the supplied evidence that they recorded a similar dissenting "conditional" vote just weeks prior.

Follow on that with the removals from the members list (which as near as I can gather is removing eligible voters from the delayed but mandated upcoming BoD elections). And looking through some of the other recent discussion, if the TDF majority group was hoping to come out of this looking like they're on the side of angels, they might want to get a refund on those tarnished halos.
