there is a genuine conciliatory reason why a non-malicious person might have voted that way
Yes, and for such cases such as @lupafilotaxia, @foreveraverage or @soufiani there are going to be individual proposals so they can be re-considered separately from a group.
Individual proposals should have been done first. As it is this feels like Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius (Kill them. For the Lord knows who are His.)
And that is not justice.
