Cunc and I got into this on my talk page too. I mentioned that the consensus 
was to move the tribute pages to the sep11 wiki and he indicated that since 
he did not agree with the "consensus" that there was no consensus and 
therefore had no obligation to follow it. This, IMO, is working against the 
wishes of the community. With the exception of Jimbo, nobody here has veto 
power. Am I wrong on this point?
