481. the sad thing was, since they argued for a unanimous decision, it only took one showing up

vigorously disagreeing with all the other hosts, to prevent a lock at that time. Skinner had posted that it should not be an easy thoughtless decision to vote for a lock, but you should consider the effort that went into posting it when thinking of locking. Somewhere in that posts were the words "lock nothing" Even though he said he didn't mean that,(in the same post) but to err on the side of keeping a post up, a few people would quote him as lock nothing. There was more discussion on what Skinner meant and what consensus meant, than there was about standards. It was obvious a few people wanted no standards that smelled of being "PC". There was a real libertarian "anti censorship" bend to the whole thing.
But, when people were voting to lock stuff of people they didn't like, the very same people would never ever appear to complain about "censorship" or the lock. It was, for a few of the hosts, all about their friends and who they perceived as enemies. Incredibly petty stuff.
