You don't see me demanding that the argument continue.

I don't think there's going to be any possible response
short of agreeing with you that you will feel is fair
and just and "acknowledges your points".  I'm not going
to agree with you, so there's no point continuing.

I wanted an extremely terse syntax using the square brackets.

Several people have contributed here, and the process

I can live with the result of the consensus process, and
I'm ready to let it drop.
