Had the people making proclamations concerning votes and non-votes on the long coat class issue called in, they would have heard the thought processes that went into the vote. As I stated during the call, while I would never want to be obstructive in any endeavor to try to include new people, I could not, in good conscience vote for a class based solely on a breed fault. Because of my personal internal bifurcation, I chose to abstain, as is my right.
