The originating email to this thread states that the IESG has already formed an opinion, (Dan is bad) thereby tainting the results of the poll, even if only subconsciously, so that those who may want to be seen in a favorable light by the IESG would naturally back up their previously expoused decision and respond accordingly.

+1.

In a normal Last Call, anyone is free to object without significant 
reprisal.    In this case, anyone can see that by objecting they'd be 
courting disfavor from those in power.   That's not a consensus call at 
all.

I'd counter that there's an obligation on everyone to object to abuse of 
power if that's what you sincerely believe is happening.   Even if, 
perhaps especially if, you're "in the rough".
