Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Vote or Stand aside?

[Mary Baker, Solid Communications (mary]

I think if someone has confided that they are sleep-deprived, it is a very 
personal issue and it is not anyone’s prerogative to judge their community vote 
based on that. 
If they have the energy to show up at a meeting and vote on issues, in my 
opinion, their vote should be respected, period. 
If you’re asking this question, then the next step is ... should we expect 
someone to vote a certain way if they’re *overworked, *new parents, *have to 
take a pet to the vet, *stressed with eldercare ... you see where I’m going 
with this? Does anyone really want to go down that rabbit hole?
