However, many groups, the minority [though how much of one is an open question, as no one has done a full census of Fenspace (right?)] of Fen disagreed with the Articles, either in part or in whole, did not show up to Cons, and did not recognize the authority of Majority Rule. Thus started a wave of counter-Conventions, denouncing the Articles.
I have to ask, do you any idea what the Articles are ,that this minority you propose are rejecting?
**********
The majority rule aspect of the convention is a de facto hegemony, particularly as the most populous factions/micronations/states/post-states push their own agendas against the smaller factions/et. al.
What? You think evey Trekkie (Warsie, ect) is going to feel/vote the same? This isn't some guy saying "I represent X number of Trekkies so I have X votes, it's each person voting their own mind, either in person or by calling it in. (that's why the vote isn't taken until a few days after the proposals are announced)
You're also forgetting that in fenspace it's not uncommon to 'multiple citizenships'. Just because someone identifies themselves mainly as, say, a Warsie, that doesn't mean they don't also consider themselves a Browncoat/Fiver/Super/Barsoomian/ect. Not to mention the Generalists.
What kind of 'agendas' did you expect the larger fractions to be pushing anyways?__________________
I bet that if you cooked an elephant, you'd have a lot of leftovers.
