400 minutes or nearly seven hours of time wasted away from doing
something constructive. Some windbags spent much more time than that.

I don't favor any side. I don't even participate on RFA regularly. What I'm
trying to do is get some idea of what exactly RFA is, as opposed to what
people say it is. Is it a vote or isn't it? Are people supposed to
substantiate their opinions or not? If it's a vote then stop discounting
oppose votes because of their stated opinions and come up with a hard number
for passing and stick with it. If it's a discussion to determine consensus
then start discounting useless support votes. As it is, it seems closer to a
vote, with the occasional "interpretation of consensus" to justify
controversial decisions.
