In one of these threads, he threatened to vote against the proposal
because I wasn't planning on listing his suggestion in my personal list
for my own edification (a form which the BDFL explicitly rejected in the
PEP, by the way).  In other words, he was going to punish me for doing
something as an individual with no connection to the PEP or the voting
process by voting against the proposal.

I had reservations about his choice of voting processes (which I voiced
and which he acknowledged, but I don't know if he actually has any
intention of changing the process).  But if he's going to threaten to
vote against a proposal based on the unrelated activities of someone
that is simply another voter, I have serious reservations about his
ethics.  This is the _votetaker_ saying that he's going to do this. 
That strikes me as extremely ungood.
