The point of the RFD anc CFV process is for the proponent(s) of the new
group to lobby for support and build a consensus that the new group is
needed and will add something of value to usenet on its creation.

The proponents of this CFV have done the opposite, and now appear to be
actively avoiding any discussion.

"appear"? They have failed to respond to politely phrased questions not
set in an otherwise insulting context. Ok, maybe they are passively avoiding...

As a result, creating the new group is unlikely to add any value.

Worse, creating that new group would create confusion as to which of the two
groups one should place a particular post in. This is directly contrary to the
reason for standing up a new big-eight group.

That's why I voted no.
