Vik, you should go into politics.
What you're doing now is called a revolution.
When the AK was just being created, I had a vague feeling that something was amiss, and I didn't embrace the idea with much enthusiasm. I even expressed some thoughts on the subject (I can't find the topic). But without any clear arguments, I didn't want to stir things up, thinking that maybe it would work out.
It didn't work out, and arguments have emerged, so now I can express everything I think about it.
but as you can see, the local people don't want it. So I don't think it's worth wasting time and energy. If 90% of respondents supported the AK, then their decisions (whether it's exclusion from the tournament, a ban, or a blacklist) will also be supported by the majority, including what you call "a blatant sham." Well, maybe there will be 10 of you in opposition in this case, instead of 5, but that's not even an opposition, just a pathetic minority with disproportionate ambitions.
Yes, my opinion on the issue at hand differs from the opinion of the majority. Since when has that become a negative thing? On the contrary, it's a reason to spread my point of view.
