I resent this statement. The process is designed to put the onus of justifying changes to the proposer. The fact that Fernando has to keep repeating his objections are the failure of the process and the chairs.

No, the chairs need to change their approach so that objections to proposals are properly addressed (whether the chairs like the proposal or not. I have had to do that in my time as chair as well, and it's not easy but it's part of the job).

When an objection has been properly, explicitly and publicly addressed, THEN you can tell people to stop posting.
