Lets try again.

I believe Newby told you the results, you must have gotten the order mixed up:
9 yes - 5 no - 4 abstain
I'm sure if you give it time, you'll have a chance. It really did come down to the last couple people :)

Still, 4 abstains leaves little margin for error. And actually, since there are 20 members and 2 didn't vote, that's actually 6 abstains.
25% of 14 is 3.5; only 4 no's would have taken Joe out of the running at that rate of abstention. Had everybody voted, it would have taken 6 no's. (25% of 20 is 5, but to get in you only need 75% of the vote, so it would have taken one more no for complete elimination).

All of which makes perfect sense.
If I wanted it to be easier to join, I would have made it 66%, like vL. Or, I wouldn't have allowed abstains, and not ended the vote until there are enough yes's or no's.
But the way we're doing it now work perfectly ine.

Ah, it sounded like there was some subtext regarding abstains being an issue, since we privately discussed it recently :)
I guess it was an explanation, not a complaint.
Complaint (against you) withdrawn.
