In eir refresh prop, Wonko is proposing the destruction of, among other things, 
Athena's Society and OrcTech, both of which effectively belong to me.  I have 
objected to this, but so far e's still insisting that that should be part of eir refresh prop.

First of all, I dislike the idea that a player's possessions might be simply voted out of 
existence because another player doesn't see a purpose for them.  I don't like it 
happening to me, and I suspect no one else would want it to happen to them.

But while I dislike the idea of doing it as a proposal, I truly resent it being done as a 
refresh prop, since a refresh prop doesn't even require majority approval.  Once the 
Procedure begins, it will implement a proposed refresh prop, whichever one that is, 
and if there's only one refresh prop that one will get implemented because there's no 
other to choose from.

Therefore, Wonko's very proposing of a refresh prop that destroys my societies 
would in fact guarantee their destruction, in the name of "cleaning up".  Only my 
submission of another refresh prop prevents Wonko's "cleaning up" from occurring 
solely on eir say-so.

I'll try to keep my refresh prop current as per comparable changes in Wonko's, but I 
ask for player support for my refresh prop in the name of sanctity of property.
