a) I didn't make that rule, just pointed it out
b) what "maximalist" interpretation? - I think the current patch is 
fine, you don't. That's a disagreement and you're involved in it, so the 
rule tells you to not be a judge. This is not a complex body of law or 
obscure legalese , just a trivial application of the rule composed in 
school-level English.
c) your opinion hasn't been made invalid - it just can't be a weighted 
vote in the TC decision. And it's not merely because you 'commented' - 
see (b).
