My comments challenge the interpretation of the "rule" -- I contest
the very meaning you and others assign to it because it conflicts with
other portions of the charter and important principles of democracy
and legal construction.

Due to such conflicts, among the range of interpretations available,
the one that results in absurd losses of rights to a population that
goes well beyond a hypothetical population of "gamers" (who, should
have an equal vote anyway) and so is unreasonable, unfair AND (most
importantly) not the correct or the best interpretation of the
Charter.
