In my own experience BIOS are usually very buggy and trigger many issues. I know of 3 bugs in my own computer BIOS.

Taking decisions slowly by consensus is what usually works the best. But sometimes those are so trivial or so uncertain that taking one without entering in too much discussion is a better choice, as the opposite would mean spending most of the time in topics that really doesn't matter at all.

When that happens, because Ubuntu is a meritocratic community, the Canonical staff has always the last word. And everyone should accept that.

Christopher, you have been too kind. Managing an irrational situation in a rational way is like asking someone to change religion: it won't work.

As rule of thumbs, if someone treats you steadily disrespectful there's no single reason for continuing the business. Because there's no single excuse for mistreating other people.

In those cases the most appropriate answer I have found is the following, which for me feels like letting go a big weight:
