You wrote,[...consider the reply to be from {all} of us...]
I am requesting that you clarify the following;
A. Does that mean that >all< of the deputies gave their individual determinations to you, as to if the statement in question is civil or not, and then you determined as to if the statement was civil or not {based on the comments from the 6 deputies} as being a majority opinion?
B. Does that mean that {all} of the deputies could not have given their opinion and the decision is your own and you are speaking for all of the deputies in that they >must accept< your opinion even though some may have a different opinon than you?
C.Does that mean that there could have been a majority opinion that was different from yours and you made the determination against the majority anyway?
D. Does that mean that the determination will not be made on the basis of the opinions of the deputies, but on if the statement in question is acceptable or not in relation to your rules in the FAQ?
E. Does that mean that, if the decision >is< based upon the majority of the deputies opinions, that the policy and rules in the FAQ are secondary to the opinions of the deputies?
F. Does that mean that the opinions of each deputy will be posted so others could have a full disclosure openly on the board as to how the individual deputies think about the statement in question?
F. Does that mean something else?
