Before I respond to Serres, let me just clarify myself, I am NOT advocating that Sam should remain within the CSS. I have stated why I abstained from voting. 


Now to address Serres:

1. Given the volatile and political nature of Sam's removal, Far's proposal had the unintended effect of being cast as a case of Victor's justice than an appeal to justice galvanizing an opposition. In addition there have been a fair amount of comments in the previous forum implying that Sam is a security threat and have alluded to seeking his removal which makes it possible that it is a witch hunt than an attempt at justice. Should the assembly remove Sam, what is to stop them from ejecting Sam from the region?

2. When we appeal solely to our emotions than reason, mistakes are made and more people are likely to steel their resolve to what they feel is best for their faction than the region.

3. It would indeed be much easier to ignore the unnecessary topics, but when they dare to obscure or embellish the facts and even try to distort the events of the coup to favor their side, that my friend is a gross miscarriage of justice. I can not in good faith vote for or against the motion when neither side can back up their claims. Therefore all I can do is step out of the way and allow the motion to pass or fail despite my reservations. 

4. Yet there is the possibility of his ban following his removal should someone call for it.
