What is consensus?

Consensus is defined as agreement. Voting is one process to (hopefully) reach it.

    So there is clearly a difference between what some understand as
      consensus (voting) and others understand as consensus (everybody
      agree with no voting).
    Votation should only be the last option if everybody can not
      agree on the same decission, but consensus should try to avoid
      votations as much as possible, IMHO

        Yet you provide no reason.

        Your appeal to authority is logical fallacy.

        Try again, good sir.
