I am not "against without stating reason ". The very email to which
you link quotes me saying:

 "As I explicitly noted earlier in /this/ discussion: 'Your proposal
remains flawed for reasons that have been explained to you previously
and at length ... Repeatedly bludgeoning us to [..] reiterate
objections does not resolve any of its flaws'. The arguments have been
made, and ignored by the proponent, more than once already; they too
are a matter of public record."

and even if that were the cae, it does not constitute "noone was against".
