Agreed. It was poorly timed call on Mr. Nesbitts part. He should have at least:
(1) waited for Richards vote to end (as I plan to do); (2) called for a
discussion on what rec.* (or misc.*) name most people feel comfortable with (as
I still plan to do with a second name survey); and (3) then use the preferred
name (not your own personal choice-unless it is the preferred) in the actual
call for votes (as I plan to do).

NOTE: I only plan to take the above action if the sci.aquaria vote fails.
