There have existed pools of people who refused to work with James Troup, Ryan
Murray, Anthony Towns, and Martin Schulze.  It is no stretch of the
imagination to assume the same will be true of similar people now and in
future.

The mistake, however, is presupposing that any person or particular
subset of people has the right to mandate which particular set of social
exclusions exists solely on the basis of the positions or powers that
may be held.  This is the foundation which eventually leads to the
cronyism that Manoj so despises.
