I agree strongly when I read your message.
I feel a thrill of excitement when I think about the challenge we've
placed before ourselves, because I imagine a world in which we
eventually turn this into a victory for working together and for
respecting diverse views.
I hope those of us who voted for option 4 rise to this challenge.
Having asked to work together using our normal processes, I request that
we work to make sure that the way we communicate and work together is up
to that task.

We choose whether we win or lose. There's been a huge sacrifice in
terms of pain and energy spent.
We today can choose whether that's a loss, or whether that provides
energy to work together with respect and understanding. We can choose
whether to turn all that pain into an nuanced solution to the technical
issues better than anything that could fit on a ballot combined with a
community that has greater confidence in its ability to work together.
