Chad, you and Caleb tout the democratic virtues of the CB Editorial Board process but disparage the remarks from anonymous commenters here.  

The irony is that a real democracy features a secret ballot voting process, and your boss who can take away your livelihood cannot tell how you voted.  This by the way, is the opposite of how your CB Editorial Board "democratic consensus" is decided, in case you didn't notice.  The CB process is more akin to how votes in places like North Korea are conducted where there is always consensus, but I certainly would not describe either of those two as "democratic" the way you and Caleb cheerfully do.
