I can't act against the GR, no. I won't break the rules (as
required by the constitution that I have agreed to follow).

As a team member, I don't have to do anything. I am not
preventing the action being taken -- other members of the team can do
it. I just refuse to act against my best judgement.

If you want to force me to work in a fashion I do not agree
with, you have to pay my going rates -- and _maybe_ I'll do it.

Wrong. The "law" defends precisely my position. It says
explicitly that y'all can't make me do anything, GR or no GR. This
is an essential element of Debian, a volunteer organization.
