Ah, crap, is it? I am pretty sure I am not being paid enough
to take abuse like this, unlike some other people.
And what have I done that is not working like a real
secretary?

More accusation, also unsubstantiated. Can you point to any
politically biased action in my official capacity as a secretary that
made life harder than it needs to be? Or are you just fanning the
flames? Or is this a hypothetical (if so, that does not appear to be
the case).

I have never actually felt that, hence the consultation bit is
moot.

The issue is not about the being human bit -- the problem is
whether the secretary has any discretion on the vote.d.o page (which
is not constitutionally mandated, but was initiative to make life
easier for the voters). The issue does seem to be whether or not the
secretary should be replace by automata.
