This is asinine.

Do not expect compliance with your demands that the above subjects be
restricted to your toy list.

You are FAR exceeding the authority you have, and you have even
misstated much of the support you claim, some of those claim they
support the INTENT or the SPIRIT behind the motion, but did NOT come
out and support your motion or its wording, much less your list of
restricted agenda items.

As usual, and from what I have heard from the TLDA list you do it
there as well, you have overstated your case, and overreached your
authority and the scope of action.
