I have less trust now too, but for a completely different reason. The originating email to this thread states that the IESG has already formed an opinion, (Dan is bad) thereby tainting the results of the poll, even if only subconsciously, so that those who may want to be seen in a favorable light by the IESG would naturally back up their previously expoused decision and respond accordingly.
Where the originating email goes on to describe that the IESG does not like to be rebuffed with communication that can be considered both
antagonistic and hostile, it puts the poll responder on notice to get in line.
+1.
In a normal Last Call, anyone is free to object without significant
reprisal. In this case, anyone can see that by objecting they'd be
courting disfavor from those in power. That's not a consensus call at
all.
I'd counter that there's an obligation on everyone to object to abuse of
power if that's what you sincerely believe is happening. Even if,
perhaps especially if, you're "in the rough".
