I'm glad it did.

Say J, if say some 'majority' of climbers votes to retro Bachar Yerian, are you seriously OK with that?

We've already discussed this line of "reasoning". (We'll call it the Sistine Chapel Argument, since it is worth naming bad arguments to avoid repeating them.)

Assuming for the sake of argument that I am also "not OK" with the BY being retro'd (while in reality I couldn't care less either way; it's not relevant to my sport): under the scenario you are discussing, what would you recommend I do? What would you do? What does not being "OK" with it entail, other than disagreeing with (and perhaps arguing against) the community's actions? Are you advocating violence? Or a road trip simply to chop bolts at a crag I don't even visit? In what way can you differentiate your position from mine on this issue?
