discussing proposal A made by person X based on one's perception that 
person X has agenda Y is not fruitful, IMHO.
After all, person X may even be pushing towards an attainable consensus 
with proposal A, having abandoned his quest for agenda Y for the nonce; if 
one can focus on proposal A, rather than X or Y, discussion becomes easier.

In this case, I support attempting to avoid focusing on the agenda of the 
person making a proposal, and rather focusing on his proposal.

(comments on the personal agenda disclosed above deleted as being not 
conductive to this discussion. No DNSO-review relevant proposals detected.)
