Partially because they were not phrased in the form of Questions.

Of course, I'm happy to admit that it was mostly because I'm not
afraid to abuse the power granted to me by the rules for the greater
good of maintaining the integrity of the democratic process.  It was
clearly not the will of the voters that the game cease to be called "B
Nomic" and if you can exploit one loophole in the Rules to try to
subvert that will I'm happy to exploit other loopholes to see that
it's not subverted.

True, but I'd say if I can't muster a second Objection from somewhere
then my intuition about the will of the Players is clearly wrong, and
I'd then welcome an Oracularity declaring that the game shall
henceforth no longer be called B Nomic and that we still have a
Membership Test defined even if it's not used.
