"It was mentioned...", have _you_ said this? To me, when I asked you
and I responded to it?
Or is somebody speaking for you? Or the council?
Given the noise that happens on #netrek and that I haven't been
always present physically or technically, you'd have to tell me the
exact date or week at least.

But when it comes to matters belonging to the council's area of
concern you're fast (and often the only one) to respond.
You're very public, you'd be a good representative for netrek or the
council.
Then please suggest some way to make the council more public in its
functionality. How to interact with the council when it's secret and
no speaker in their name known?
What benefit has a _secret_ council when public requests need public
responses?

So... you haven't told me before?!
Nothing has changed, a secret council doesn't serve the public
community with regard to direction and noise control.

Respond to what, how?
What was bad about my reactions given your responses?

You are aware that you listed yourself as member of the council?
Even though I acknowledge that you don't speak for the whole
council, you can speak for yourself; when asked as member it's your
turn to answer anyway: are you for or against a public speaker and
message process to declare the council's purpose and publish
decision progress?
The others can answer for themselves when asked; no worries, I can
distinguish that.
