I have chosen not to vote because: 1) The basis for the vote seems unfair for several reasons I outlined before. 2) The options are B and C - but nobody can agree on what B is - as (IMHO) demonstrated by the lack of voter turnout and the considerable discussion on "The meaning of B". 3) You have arbitarily chosen to remove option A which got more votes than B in the last iteration of voting. Various attempts at fairer voting systems eliminate the *least* popular candidate, this is the first I've seen where the *most* popular is eliminated in the second round! So, this vote is meaningless. IMHO, some small group needs to go off and form a concrete B-like proposal and return to this list with a simple question like: Do you accept this formulation or not? If not then we see what went wrong and try again. IMHO, any reasonable formalization of a B-like solution would be accepted cleanly and immediately.
