I'm confused.

If we have rules for ourselves, we should follow them.

If we don't need them, we shouldn't have them.

If they're in the way, which they are, they should either be corrected or abandoned.

If there's a call for "is the election legit," I'm personally fine with it and have been.

I'm not fine with establishing rules and then discarding them, regardless of whether we're an organisation, a small group, a gaggle, murder, herd, or flock.

The impression I get is that a few people are going to ratify the election because they want to. Is this also how standards are going to be determined? If so, I'm certainly not going to waste any time or effort participating, and that's what I mean by credibility.

I think that's a fine social way to go about it.

I don't think it's the way an organization proceeds.
Fundamentally, we're not an organisation. We're a small group of people trying 
to get some work done. We need to be careful that we allow our processes to 
assist us in that goal, not to prevent us from achieving it.

At this point, I'm beginning to feel that Ken's original suggestion of 
standardisation-by-cage-match would have been a better idea from the start.

Cheers,

Simon.
