haha... I 100% agree, doing a proposal is like offering to be a punching bag. Even when there was 90% approval on one of my props, I still had endless negativity and trolling to deal with. Not fun at all.
I feel for you on this one because I like your concept in general. I think we will eventually get something passed as well. I particularly like the graveyard approach, even thought that will take even more time and resources to develop.
Good job again!
