No thanks.  I'm a fan of the brand of consensus which doesn't involve
ignorance, especially at the request of others.

Could you hunt up links demonstrating this pattern?

Thanks for the context.  It is corroborated also by this email Leif
posted in another thread [1].

Ah, the ol' noisebridge favorite pasttime:

A: Don't trust B because <some facts> so therefore <assertion about
B's "true secret motives">.

C: Don't trust A because <some facts> so therefore <assertion about
A's "true secret motives">.

D: ... <repeat the pattern>

Could you try to explain what behavior you wish Ronald would stop and
why *without resorting to descriptions of their motives*?

Could you propose an alternative positive behavior instead of a
generic prohibition?

Just some thoughts that might be more fruitful than a "you're a troll;
