Please stop confusing the people who did not take part in the coup with
Michael, this is not the same thing.

The people you are siding with have refused attempts at compromise out of
hand and never agreed to submit to a legitimate expression of the majority.
That alone forbids them any legitimacy on the common name.

Now, if Michael were to cling to power on his side of the fork, he would
lose legitimacy too, and I would be among the first to criticize him. But I
do not think he would do it, as he recently endorsed the principle of a
vote.

If that vote happens, you would be free to register a motion "M?ns leader,
ban Michael" and see who votes for it. I can say that I would certainly not
support any motion banning someone.
