The reason I sustained the decision was unilateral was in part due to the fact Annabell herself (who moved the pages you had tagged) started the Mr./Mister discussion thread because she wasn't aware there was actually no actual policy at the time the pages were moved. This is the reason I don't believe the status of Mr./Mister prior to the discussion a was an appropriate case of consensus by editing.

The expression of my position wasn't supposed to be a personal attack, considering I was not the only one who believed it to be what I described it to be (the other person being Annabell). However, I apologize for its connotations.

As for the way I handled the reach-out, I personally don't see an issue with it. It was a similar way in which voting had previously been handled in the past. It also ensured a clear consensus. Before the voting process, only eight people (and potentially only seven eligible to vote) had weighed in, with the opinion of two of them not being entirely clear. With the voting, a total of 12 people made a clear "X or Y" vote.
