My own opinion was to not switch it on, but I think that action was reasonable enough

Quite. I've often closed afds with results against the 'numbers' but
in
such cases I owe the community an explanation, and I need good
reasons -
and a willingness to defend them afterwards. And afds closings can
be
contested and overturned on drv.
So far, we've had no explanation: we're not even knowing who made
the
decision and there's no place to contest it, and no process to seek redress.
There's structurally something wrong with the fact that a community discussion is weighed (so badly) by an unidentified person who is
not
obviously accountable to the community.
The more important a decision is, and the more irreversible it will
be,
the more vital it is that the process is transparent. That's why we
have
easy processes for afd - assessed by an admim; more thorough ones
for
RfA - assessed by those chosen as crats'; a very open and careful
one
for choosing arbitrators - assessed by Jimbo himself. Yet, on a
vital
and divisive issue like this, we get a snap poll - assessed by who
knows
whom and why?
Not good.

It was made quite clear in several places that it was JeLuf who
switched
it on.

No, and it shouldn't be either.
