I agree in this particular case and in fact admit to unintentionally participating in
stifling a straw poll because my comment was understood as an objection. I was merely
trying to introduce a note of caution into asking who would be willing to pay for
something and how much, given how some people could really be turned off by that kind of
peer pressure, however well-meaning.
I do however hesitate to be absolute about it, or unconditional. Bad faith consensus
blocking has been discussed at Sudo Room many times, and I would hope that the process we
go with could not be exploited as such.

Yea, totally, straw polls should be friction free.
This would have saved like 15-30 minutes of talking about nothing yesterday.

In addition, I think that there should be some rules around making official proposals,
for example that there must reasonable time to bring up clarifying questions and to make
comments before bringing it to an official vote. There by making a clear distinction
between sraw poll and proposals.

I was frustrated last night by the repeated suppresion of straw polls, and
meta-processing around whether members should even be able to call for a straw poll about
specific things.
I would like to propose that we add to the compact that any meeting participant, when
they are on stack, is unconditionally allowed to call for a straw poll. The other
participants can then either yea, nay, or abstain. I think this will make the process more
smooth.
