A group of individuals will reach consensus? Man, you must not pay a lot of attention to politics or religion, if you think that.
You misunderstand of course. I didn't say that they had to agree. The "will" is if they must.
By the way, why is the number of staff needed to make a decision as you say: 6? Surely there needs to be an odd number?

Once again, this is one of those times that the things I know, behind the scenes, absolutely show your suspicions to be false,
You might want to check your facts.

How can I "stroke suspicion" if, as you say, nothing is hidden? You're double speak is showing.
Poet said repeatedly that he "stood up for me" but would no longer (since our spat). So are you saying that he is lying? Or is he saying that you are lying?

But the rules are enforced in full view. Every ban we make is logged for every one of you to see, every mod edit and thread change comes with a text alert stating what has been changed and a PM to the user in question telling them we've made a change... what else do you want? The only parts of our work that are obscured from view are the discussions we have before carrying out any action, and that's for a simple pragmatic reason, and it's the same one that cops have for not discussing arrest action right in front of the person they're going to arrest, or why juries are sequestered.
I don't "want" anything. I'm merely pointing out the reason you must accept a measure of suspicion.
