I don't think you quite understand the concept of a "Forum Team"  All decsions are made only after a team meeting. And some of those meetings can be quite long and drawn out, I can assure, just as in "real life".

No decision is taken without there having been a majority vote.

The greatest part of wisdom is learning to develop  the ineffable genius of extracting the "neither here nor there" out of any situation...."
