Do you have any reason to believe in that way? Or do
you expect that we  believe you just becasue you say so?

I'm  afraid  that  I'm repeating  myself. Do you have
any  reason  to  believe  in that  way? Or do you expect
that we believe you just becasue you say  so?

It  would  be  nice  if you  provided some reasons to
your claims.

There is a simple solution to your question: let the membership of this  
mailing list decide whether Zen is irrational authoritarianism.  The vote 
could require a simple majority, a plurality, a 2/3  majority, or a unanimous 
consensus could be required, with dissenters allowed to  abstain, on or off 
the record. I think that's democratic. Don't you?
 
Just a thought.
