But there is already a rule in place to handle what you describe. Why put another rule in place that might be used in ways that aren't helpful to the board?
I wasn't describing you. I was describing behaviors I've seen on other boards that I wouldn't want to see here. And that's the truth. I haven't seen that behavior here, and wouldn't want to see it in future if a hijacking rule was in effect.
Personally I was always in favor of a "Hey, cut it out" rule rather than creating new rules to fit every possible contingency, since the new rules are often used more broadly than I like. I trust Dr. Bob to use it wisely. But Dr. Bob is opposed to that.
