Certainly, peoples' preferences are varied. I never expected that everyone will convert to the same preference. However, what is not strictly a matter of opinion, what can be analyzed and predicted are the consequences of a set of rules. The accuracy of these predictions can be argued logically. Then the consequences can be debated for their desirability.
Really though, I suppose my argument is mostly targeted at the devs since I am proposing rules changes and not pushing for an agreement between players. Whatever players agree on above and beyond the server rules is nice and all, but ultimately, such agreements are not the end all be all of player behavior. Some players are not constrained by other players' agreements, but only by the rules. I posted publicly though because I wanted to draw on the collective intelligence of the playerbase (or at least he segment that reads the forums) to refine my idea, pick out any holes in it, and also to gives the devs an impression of what various types of players think about it.
