I do not think you have a right to dictate to our community how exactly
we should be running things.  If my community feels it would be best
served by changing to a "pure" consensus system, I have no problem
with that. For now, the 2/3 vote is there for situations where consensus
simply cannot be reached.  We have yet to encounter such a situation,
and is simply in there as I  understand it to prevent a difficult decision
from  paraylizing the group permenently.

Does local autonomy mean nothing to you?  In the past wars have been
fought because someone far away was giving instructions to a smaller group
who's lives they did not understand.  I submit that you do not know the
community that you seek to force to your ways.
