Whatever, you can twist this f-ing thing however you want.

No, you're twisting things here, because -- as I have shown -- much discussion was had about these issues before we changed anything. Again, I'm sorry that you were not privy to the communication.

We support the community in as much as the community takes the time to report on issues in an empirical, justifiable manner. Until that happens, it's really just noise. As many have noticed a lot of changes & fixes have been made since the launch of the new design. Changes & fixes will continue to happen as quickly as we can muster them. Seriously, if it took 8 months to come up with this design, why do you think something would happen in a few days based off of poll results? I don't see how the "lack of support" you are speaking of can be validated.

Is it only certain portions of the community that deserve representation from the council? Perhaps the ones you agree with?

EDIT, its now 67

Well, it's 67 out of </= 18,000 registered members. Even if only 1/8 of those members are "active," your number is still pretty low. I'm not saying that the poll should be ignored. I'm just saying that there are a lot of people who didn't vote.

There are no "agree" or "disagree" categories. We (the community) do what we can. We (the community) participate where we can. We (the Council) do sometimes choose which items are feasible to support. This is where other community members are welcome to join in to pick up the slack. I don't see 67 people who should fix things for themselves. I see myself as someone who has spent time and energy to fix things for myself.
