No, it most certainly was not just a question. Instead of asking how community votes would be factored into the final result, you constructed a hypothetical that frames the PMC as a dictatorship, doing as it pleases regardless of community feedback. You then use this hypothetical to draw the absurd conclusion that "community votes are irrelevant" and then seek an explicit refutation. You have consistently used this style of framing. It seems that you presume the worst in people and processes instead of giving us the courteous benefit of the doubt. It has been consistently pointed out to you that this causes offence and unnecessary friction, and you have been politely asked to think about other ways of approaching constructive discussion.
