Abstention

There is one very sensitive matter currently on the floor in my chapter from which I have been considering a request for abstention when the vote comes up. I am new to the chapter (I just reactivated this year) and this issue arose last year. I am not intimately familiar with the situation and I have little knowledge of the people involved. There are certain instances where I feel I should know the people involved and even the politics of the chapter before I cast my vote. You may say that I should ask for more information, but I'm not comfortable asking for information about a controversial subject that I can easily veer away from. Additionally, what I would receive from my inquiries would be opinions - not facts. Voting, with the knowledge I have, would actually be irresponsible.

So, AKA2D'91, there you have it, a reason for abstention. A good reason? I feel so.
